Popis: Obesity is associated with low-grade chronic inflammation. Here the authors show that the activation of anti-inflammatory M2a-subtype macrophages requires the IL4/Irs2/Akt pathway. Due to decreased Irs2 expression this pathway is impaired in obese mice thus leading to a defect in M2a activation.
