Obesity is associated with macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue

TL;DR: Transcript expression in perigonadal adipose tissue from groups of mice in which adiposity varied due to sex, diet, and the obesity-related mutations agouti (Ay) and obese (Lepob) found that the expression of 1,304 transcripts correlated significantly with body mass.

Genetic and environmental determinants of human NK cell diversity revealed by mass cytometry

TL;DR: The data suggest that inhibitory receptors may contribute more to NK cell self-tolerance, whereas activating receptors may guide response to pathogens and tumors, and the possibility that discrete NK cell subpopulations could be harnessed for immunotherapeutic strategies in the settings of infection, reproduction, and transplantation.

Effect of Low-Fat vs Low-Carbohydrate Diet on 12-Month Weight Loss in Overweight Adults and the Association With Genotype Pattern or Insulin Secretion: The DIETFITS Randomized Clinical Trial.

TL;DR: There was no significant difference in weight change between a healthy low-fat diet vs ahealthy low-carbohydrate diet, and neither genotype pattern nor baseline insulin secretion was associated with the dietary effects on weight loss in this 12-month weight loss study.
