Relationship between carbohydrate and lipid metabolism violations and the tumor necrosis factor-alpha levels in experimental alimentary obesity

In this article it was considered the rates of protein and lipid metabolism, tumor necrosis factor-α, and adipose tissue specific hormones in the blood serum of rats in case of alimentary obesity. It was established that diet-induced obesity in rats is accompanied by increased production of leptin, total cholesterol and triglycerides. BMI is the most important component that determines the interaction of immune and metabolic processes in terms of alimentary obesity and positively associated with leptin, TN F-α and total cholesterol. TN F-α, including atherogenic properties, is associated with the increase of leptin.
