Cover Story: Inflammation plays a critical role in obesity, impacting the quality of life and increasing the risk for diseases such as tumors and immune-mediated disorders. This review examines the inflammatory signaling pathways, providing insights into new therapeutic targets. Also, the role of macrophages in the adipose tissue is explored, highlighting their involvement in chronic inflammation and cytokine regulation. Also, our study explores the complex interactions within adipose tissue and emphasizes the importance of weight loss in reducing cardio-metabolic risks and inflammation. These findings enhance the understanding of obesity-related pathophysiology and suggest future research directions for effective treatments, potentially improving patients’ quality of life.
