Research Article: Inflammatory Th17 cells are correlated with insulin resistance and erythrocyte parameters in overweight and obese children
Abstract:
Introduction: Obesity is thought to be accompanied by chronic, low-grade, inflammation. The adipocytes are present in the subcutaneous and visceral fat tissue and contribute to the bone marrow cell compartment. Therefore, it poses a question whether the factors influencing adipocyte functions also have an impact on the hematopoietic function of the bone marrow. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association between erythrocyte parameters, the proinflammatory Th17 lymphocytes, and IR markers in children with excessive body weight.
