Abstract
Obesity affects millions of people worldwide and is a complex and multifactorial syndrome. Alterations in eating habits and lifestyle in developed countries increased obesity rates drastically through the past years and also the deaths associated with this condition. The immune system is an important component to maintain adipose tissue homeostasis and also to promote inflammation during obesity. In this mini review, we will briefly describe the main factors that contribute to systemic low-grade inflammation in obesity and lead to insulin resistance.
