Dying fat cells may trigger self-amplifying cycle of inflammation in obesity
A new review examines adipocyte ferroptosis, the breakdown of fat cells due to oxidation from intracellular iron, as an emerging molecular mechanism potentially contributing to adipose tissue dysfunction, chronic inflammation and metabolic complications associated with obesity.
