| Research Abstract |
Obese adipose tissue produces excess inflammatory factors, including free fatty acid (FFA) and adipokines, which are involved in the development of metabolic syndrome. Thus, understanding the regulatory mechanism of adipocytes inflammation is important in the improvement of metabolic syndrome. In this report, we show that citrus flavonoids affect the FFA secretion, adipokines expression, TLR expression and TLR signaling through the regulation of intracellular signaling in adipocytes.
