| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Regulatory T cells (Treg) is known to attenuate obesity-associated chronic inflammation in the visceral adipose tissue. In contrast to the decreased of adipose Treg in male obese mice, we found that adipose Treg was increased in the visceral adipose tissue of female obese mice. Based on the fact, we constructed T cell specific estrogen receptor α deficient mouse (KO). Female KO mice showed a decrease of adipose Treg with mild exacerbation of chronic inflammation on high-fat diet or under condition with gestational diabetes, although the impact on glucose metabolism was not severe. In this study, we found several signals related to the localization of Treg in adipose tissue. These results shed a new insight for understanding of the fundamental knowledge for treatment of insulin resistance in obesity by the regulation of chronic inflammation in obese adipose tissue.
