Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation attributed to the dysregulated production and release of cytokines and adipokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin (IL)-6, monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, leptin, resistin and adiponectin in macrophage-infiltrated abdominal adipose tissue [1]. The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is obesity disorder.
