Research Abstract |
It is well established that obesity can exacerbate metabolic syndrome and glucose tolerance through induction of chronic inflammation. We have established p38alpha mutant mice in which p38alpha gene is disrupted in the hematopoietic cells. It is found that high fat diet-induced chronic inflammation in the adipose tissue and glucose tolerance is ameliorated in the mutant mice, suggesting that the p38alpha signaling cascade in the hematopoietic cells could be involved in the regulation of obesity-induced chronic inflammation and metabolic syndrome.
