A Role for Oncostatin M in the Impairment of Glucose Homeostasis in Obesity

Context Oncostatin M (OSM) plays a key role in inflammation, but its regulation and function during obesity is not fully understood. Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship of OSM with the inflammatory state that leads to impaired glucose homeostasis in obesity. We also assessed whether OSM immunoneutralization could revert metabolic disturbances caused by a high-fat diet (HFD) in mice. Design 28 patients with severe...
