Izvilkums no pirmās, acīmredzot nepieejamās saites (man nerādīja nekādus uni saistītas identifikācijas pazīmes, tādēļ pieņēmu, ka tas ir brīvpieejas, atvainojos)

In the classic literature, inflammation is described as the principal response of the body invoked to deal with injuries, the hallmarks of which include swelling, redness, pain and fever (tumor, rubor, dolor and calor). This often short-term adaptive response is a crucial component of tissue repair and involves integration of many complex signals in distinct cells and organs. However, the long-term consequences of prolonged inflammation are often not beneficial. This certainly seems to be the case in metabolic diseases. Although many of the same mediators are involved in obesity and diabetes, few, if any, of the classic features of inflammation have been observed. Therefore, it would be useful to set out a distinct form of injury response or subclass of inflammation — sometimes referred to as 'low-grade' or 'chronic' — or to describe an altogether separate state with a new term, perhaps 'metaflammation' (metabolically triggered inflammation).

Obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are closely associated with chronic 'inflammation' characterized by abnormal cytokine production, increased acute-phase reactants and other mediators, and activation of a network of inflammatory signalling pathways.


Kopumā izskatās, ka ja audos ir iekaisuma marķieri - vielas, ko izstrādā šūnas arī pie īstermiņa, klasiskā iekaisuma, tad to var saukt par iekaisuma stāvokli
Bet piekrītu par "iekaisuma" brīvo lietošanu, arī biju daudz kur ievērojusi, tādēļ devos virspusējā šķirstīklī
