Mechanism-Based Biomarker Prediction for Low-Grade Inflammation in Liver and Adipose Tissue

Metabolic disorders, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes have a large impact on global health, especially in industrialized countries. Tissue-specific chronic low-grade inflammation is a key contributor to complications in metabolic disorders. To support therapeutic approaches to these complications...
