Scientists, after conducting regular experiments on laboratory mice, came to the conclusion that the risk of obesity helps to reduce certain cells of the immune system.

Researchers' findings were published in an article published in Immunity.

Note that the immune system and its relationship with metabolism has been studied quite actively in recent years.. Scientists note that some cells help control the storage of energy in adipose tissue and its output.

It has also been observed that inflammatory molecules are involved in the production of fat cells, which can affect the balance established by the immune system.. This feature is considered by many experts, arguing that obesity is an autoimmune, inflammatory disease..

Israeli scientists from Weizmann Institute during the experiment removed some immune cells in mice. Note, these cells produced the perforin molecule.. When there were no cells, rodents began to gain weight, metabolic problems began. Scientists have also noticed that the composition of immune T cells has changed..

Work continues. Indeed, understanding the causes of obesity, in the future it will be possible to develop effective methods of treating diseases.
