S. no. | Proposed mechanisms of obesity being a risk factor for diabetes | Result |
---|---|---|
1 | Overexpression of cytokines by adipose tissues [12] | -Increased inflammation |
2 | An increased amount of C-reactive protein [16] | -Impairs nitric oxide production and prostacyclin -Increased uptake of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) [16] |
3 | Decreased adiponectin production | Increased NEFA [17] |
4 | Fat mass distribution | The more peripheral fat distribution, the more is the insulin sensitivity [11] |
