Temporal and tissue-specific requirements for T-lymphocyte IL-6 signalling in obesity-associated inflammation and insulin resistance

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is increased in obesity and activates T cells to promote inflammation. Here, Xuet al. use mice that lack IL-6 receptors on T cells to uncover the temporal and tissue-specific effects of classic and trans IL-6 signalling on inflammation and insulin resistance on a high-fat diet.
