Key result
T-cell dysfunction in obesity is linked to insulin resistance and metabolic complications.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Excessive lipid accumulation in an obese state is linked with activation and release of detrimental cytokines and chemokines that promote metabolic dysregulation. In fact, emerging experimental evidence shows that abnormal modulation of T-cells in an obese state correlates with the development and progression of insulin resistance. Importantly, the evolving concept linking insulin resistance with impaired immunological mechanisms such as T-cell responses provides new prospects for understanding the role of inflammation in moderating metabolic complications.

Nyambuya et al. (2019) conducted a review in Obesity and insulin resistance. Obesity-induced inflammation and T-cell modulation was evaluated. Abnormal modulation of T-cells in an obese state correlates with the development and progression of insulin resistance, linking impaired immunological mechanisms with metabolic complications.
