Obesity is characterised by expansion of white adipose tissue, accompanied by an inflamatory response. It has been proposed that the inflammatory state observed may be linked to relative hypoxia in clusters of adipocytes distant from vasculature. Adipose tissue hypoxia has been observed in both an...

Within adipose tissue, this involves the infiltration of macrophages, as well as the direct inflammatory response of the adipocytes and pre-adipocytes. This study has us...
