26. These data suggest that although IL-4-stimulated alternatively activated macrophages upregulate fatty acid oxidation, fatty acid oxidation is dispensable for macrophage polarization and high-fat diet-induced metabolic dysfunction. Macrophage fatty acid oxidation likely plays a correlative, rather than causative, role in systemic metabolic dysfunction. PMID: 28223293
27. Excessive IL-4 levels in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) directly inhibited the induction of aiTregs and caused enteropathy.
