Using a model of obesity with insulin resistance, this study investigated whether (1) inflammatory markers and Slc2a4 expression are altered; (2) atorvastatin has beneficial effects on inflammation and Slc2a4 expression; and (3) inhibitor of NFκB (IKK)/NFκB pathway is involved in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). The gene discussed is SLC2A4; the disease is obesity disorder.
