High‐Fat Diet from Weaning until Early Adulthood Impairs T Cell Development in the Thymus

The growing prevalence of childhood obesity has become a serious health problem over the past few decades. Although the immune system is greatly affected by childhood obesity, whether obesity influences the T cell development in the thymus is poorly understood. In this study, we used a high‐fat diet (HFD)‐induced obesity mice model to study the influence of HFD from weaning on the thymus. C57BL/6 mice (male, 3 weeks old) were fed a HFD or...
