摘要：In recent years, adipose tissue is no longer considered as being merely the reserves of fat in the body; rather it is considered as an endocrine organ. An excess of fat promotes the production and secretion of many adipocytokines and other substances, which participate in the regulation of energy in local and general fat stores in the body.
Current scientific evidence suggests that the relationship between plasma adipocytokine concentrations and the appearance of certain metabolic comorbidities associated with obesity is closer and more direct. Obesity is associated with a low-degree of chronic inflammation which improves with weight loss. As part of the interdisciplinary effort to treat these pathologies, it would be of interest in the future to evaluate dietetic interventions as a fundamental way of controlling obesity and its metabolic comorbidities because prudent diets are known that can improve this proinflammatory chronic state.
