Funded Activity Summary

Obesity and type 2 diabetes are linked by the production of inflammatory factors in the body. These factors seem to link weight gain, especially around the abdomen, not only with insulin resistance, the precursor to diabetes, but also independently with the development with heart and kidney disease and reduced fertility. This study will investigate the effect of dieting and weight loss on inflammation and the function of the heart and other organs in obese people with and without diabetes.
