RESUMEN
La obesidad es un problema muy importante a nivel mundial que ha aumentado rápidamente, alcanzando características de pandemia. En los últimos años se ha observado que los pacientes obesos presentan un estado inflamatorio crónico de bajo grado como una consecuencia del incremento en la masa del tejido adiposo, que lleva a un aumento en la producción de mediadores proinflamatorios que son conjuntamente estimulados por señales de origen exógeno y/o endógeno. El tejido adiposo contiene fibroblastos, preadipocitos, adipocitos y macrófagos; estos últimos contribuyen de manera importante al proceso inflamatorio sistémico con la producción de mediadores proinflamatorios. Así, existe una asociación íntima, altamente coordinada, entre las vías inflamatorias y las metabólicas; destaca la coincidencia en las funciones de los macrófagos y los adipocitos en la obesidad. Dilucidar los vínculos que existen entre obesidad e inflamación es de importancia capital dentro del campo de la biología molecular; esto implica el reconocimiento de las adipocinas, moléculas sintetizadas por los adipocitos, para dar lugar al descubrimiento de nuevos blancos terapéuticos relacionados con la inmunidad y el metabolismo, y de esta manera abrir la posibilidad de frenar la evolución de los procesos inflamatorios que culminan en enfermedades degenerativas.
