Oxidative stress is increased in metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and this appears to underlie the development of cardiovascular disease, T2DM and diabetic Pathway complications. to Increased T2DM oxidative stress appears to be a deleterious factor leading to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, β-cell dysfunction, impaired glucose tolerance and ultimately leading to T2DM Two Hit Theory: Genes + Environment 1 2* Obesogenic Environment World J Diabetes. 2015 Apr 15; 6(3): 456 480. 17 World J Diabetes. 2015 Apr 15; 6(3): 456 480. Closed Loop NAFLD and Metabolic Syndrome Adipocytes Not simply storage cells Metabolically active Pro-inflammatory World J Gastroenterol. 2017 Sep 28; 23(36): 6571 6592. 19 The fields of immunology and metabolism are rapidly converging on adipose tissue. During obesity, many immune cells infiltrate or populate in adipose tissue and promote a low-grade chronic inflammation. Studies to date have suggested that perturbation of inflammation is critically linked to nutrient metabolic pathways and to obesity-associated complications such as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.
