The purpose of this paper is to identify immunologic hallmarks of excessive bodyweight. The analysis is based on 176 adults (106 women, 70 men) who participated in a nested case-control study in Italy. All participants were healthy at the time of blood collection and aged between 36 and 75 years. We employed multivariate analysis of variance and a nonparametric Bayesian additive regression tree approach along with a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to determine the…

Results suggest that hyperleptinemia is strongly associated with the occurrence of low-grade systemic inflammation and metabolic alteration in obese subjects, and further clinical research is still needed to determine whether hyperleaptinemia may be a potential marker for recognizing the advent of obesity-related metabolic disorders in human beings.

The studies support that subtle perturbations in the immune system may precede lymphoma development and suggest that B cell activation, chronic inflammation and/or an unbalance in Th1/Th2-responses are likely important phenomena in lymphomagenesis.

It is proposed that increased mitochondrial function in adipose tissue is an important mediator in sustaining the low body weight in CT individuals and could ultimately allow more targeted approaches for weight management treatment strategies.

Animal model studies show that interruption of immune cell‐mediated inflammation by any one of several methods almost invariably results in the prevention or delay of obesity and/or IR, and seemingly contradictory results indicate that a more comprehensive understanding of human IR/T2D‐associated immune cell function is needed to leverage animal studies into clinical treatments.

The results of this study suggest a possible association between plasma levels of IL2, ICAM, IFN-γ, and TNF-α with NHL risk and provide some evidence that risk of NHL might be related to a downregulation of T helper 1 cytokines.
