Obesity leads to tissue inflammation and insulin resistance, which are features of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Chiang et al. (2009) now show that the IkappaB kinase IKKepsilon is an important link between obesity and inflammation and may be a new therapeutic target for treating obesity-related metabolic diseases.
肥胖会导致组织炎症和胰岛素抵抗,而这正是诸如2型糖尿病等代谢性疾病的特征。蒋等人(2009年)现在表明,IκB激酶IKKε是肥胖与炎症之间的重要联系,并且可能是治疗肥胖相关代谢性疾病的一个新的治疗靶点。
