Specifically, adipokines signal regional pro-inflammatory changes, including macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1 α), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin 8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) with infiltration into adipose tissue that dysregulate systemic metabolism and lead to insulin resistance and vascular dysfunction8,20,21. This evidence concerns the gene TNF and Insulin resistance.
