Interleukin-4 regulates lipid metabolism by inhibiting adipogenesis and promoting lipolysis

Interleukin-4 regulates lipid metabolism by inhibiting adipogenesis and promoting lipolysis

Long-term cytokine-mediated inflammation is a risk factor for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Our previous studies reveal significant associations between promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of interleukin (IL)-4 and T2DM, as well as between SNPs in genes encoding IL-4/IL-4...
