Popis: IL-36α,β and ɣ are IL-1-related cytokines promoting inflammation in the skin and intestine. Here the authors show they are elevated in individuals with obesity, and that mice lacking the IL-36 receptor antagonist are more resistant to diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction, which depends on intestinal microbiota.
