Dietary intervention-induced weight loss decreases macrophage content in adipose tissue of obese women

Abstract: Objective: Accumulation of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) is observed in obesity and may participate in the development of insulin resistance and obesity-related complications. The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of long-term dietary intervention on ATM content in human adipose tissue. Design: We performed a multi-phase longitudinal study. Subjects and measurements: A total of 27 obese pre-menopausal women (age 39±2 years, body mass index 33.7±0.5 kg m -2 ) underwent a 6-month dietary interve… Show more

“…Although this molecule can cause inflammation, inducing macrophages to secrete TNF-α and IL-6, thereby promoting insulin resistance, it also induces the production and activity of chemoattractant proteins such as monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), which promotes innate cellular immune responses and translocation in response to stimuli, such as HFD-induced adipose tissue hypertrophy and liver steatosis [39,40]. It is important to halt the production of inflammatory molecules, which are promoters of insulin resistance, so that macrophage infiltration is prevented, and any macrophages already infiltrating do not receive stimuli to remain infiltrated, as occurs with some drugs or with weight loss [41][42][43][44].…”

“…In addition, because various subpopulations of macrophages may exist and express distinct surface markers depending on the local microenvironment, different ATM markers could be identified in different macrophage subpopulations of adipose tissue. Several macrophage subpopulations have indeed been identified in human adipose tissue [23,27,35,36]. Studies investigating mRNA variations of specific macrophage subpopulations in different adipose tissue locations and/or in different groups of individuals are currently not available due to technical limitations.…”

“…Conversely, caloric restriction attenuates WAT inflammation and improves glycemic status in obese humans and mice after prolonged periods of weight reduction or stabilization (10)(11)(12)(13)(14). These observations enlighten WAT plasticity in response to long-term modifications of energy balance and its close link with coordinated changes in metabolic status.…”
