Obesity ‐induced changes in gene expression in feline adipose and skeletal muscle tissue

In conclusion, a possible obesity-related low-grade inflammation caused by increased expression of key proinflammatory regulators was not observed. This could imply that the development of feline obesity and ensuing insulin r esistance may not be based on tissue-derived inflammation, but caused by several determining factors, many of which still need further investigation.
