Methodology: We will recruit obese Hispanic young adults (18 - 35 years) from hospitals, clinics, and community centers. Study Endpoints: Primary outcomes will be macrophage infiltration as assessed by the presence of crown-like structures (CLS) in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) biopsies, liver fat, insulin sensitivity, and fasting glucose. We will also assess plasma levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP)-1, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1, C-reactive protein (CRP), and SAT gene expression of nuclear factor kB (NF-kB) and insulin signaling pathways.
