An illustration depicting the various adverse effects of obesity, more specifically, the factors which contribute to the development of cancer caused by the metabolic and inflammatory changes occurring in the body. The six inset illustrations depict (top left) the development of insulin resistance, (centre left) the disruption of cell-signalling pathways, (bottom left) increasingly active adipocytes secreting cancer promoting hormones and cytokines, (top right) excess amounts of proinflammatory compounds produced by macrophages, (centre right) reduced gut bacteria diversity and diffusion of lipopolysaccharides outside the intestine, and (bottom right) increased expressions of cancer promoting hormones. | |
