Title: Sex differences in high fat diet induced myelopoiesis and macrophage activation
Abstract: Sex differences in adiposity have long been realized but the dimorphic inflammation responses to obesogenic diets systemically and in adipose tissue have only been understood more recently. Sex differences in myelopoiesis and macrophage activation demonstrate that male animal models have more pro-inflammatory responses while females have a more regulatory inflammation response leading to preserved adipose tissue function. In addition, Dr. Singer will also discuss implications of these differences in responses to infection and describe current translational studies to understanding which adolescents are at risk for impaired metabolic health in response to obesogenic diets.
