Complement factors C4 and C3 are down regulated in response to short term overfeeding in healthy young men

Abstract Insulin resistance is associated with high circulating level of complement factor C3. Animal studies suggest that improper complement activation mediates high-fat-diet-induced insulin resistance. Individuals born with low birth weight (LBW) are at increased risk of developing insulin resist...
