Its common knowledge that those who are obese are at greater risk for developing metabolic syndrome, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. However, the reason for this association has not always been clear. It does appear that systemic inflammation plays a major role and obesity triggers this inflammation. But what specifically initiates the inflammation? How can we measure it? Most importantly, can we reduce or eliminate this inflammation and prevent the progression to these cardiometabolic states? My guest for this podcast is Maria L. Collazo-Clavell, M.D., from the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Mayo Clinic and we’ll discuss “Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease: Obesity- The Linking Pathology”.
These talks on Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease are sponsored by Novo Nordisk
