LCN2 and infection: A promotion of the inflammatory response in AT has been associated with this [71], as well as lipocalin 2 (LCN-2), a component of the immune system that plays a role primarily in the acute phase response of the infection, in particular in the induction of apoptosis, often mainly at the level of complete rest and the liver; it is also closely related to the phallus bifida and insulin resistance with increased levels, especially in obese and diabetic patients [72].
