| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Excessive carbohydrate intake not only leads to store to adipose tissues as energy but also induces allergies. This study examined glucose- and fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2)-induced cytokine and chemokine expression in adipocytes or adipose tissue-derived stromal cells in vitro to clarify the relationship between adipose tissue and allergies. Glucose and FGF-2 affected cytokine and chemokine secretion, including interleukin-6, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, keratinocyte-derived chemokine, and eotaxin. Allergies will be presumably induced by excess cytokine and chemokine secretion from adipose tissues when overweight children regularly eating high-carbohydrate diets suddenly switch to low-carbohydrate and protein diets.
