Abstract:Adipose tissue, being a source of chronic low-grade inflammation, activates cells of the immune system by producing cytokines and chemokines. The balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory molecules and their relationship with blood bacterial DNA in obese children and adolescents has not been studied sufficiently. This study aimed to find patterns of interaction between fractions of bacterial families in healthy and obese children, analyze cytokine levels and their relationship with blood bacterial DNA conten… Show more
