Obesity leads to diabetes and heart disease but not all body fat seems to be bad. Increased fat around the waist (especially the visceral fat around the intestine and internal organs) is particularly bad. Visceral fat secretes a lot of inflammatory molecules. This research aims to understand how visceral fat becomes inflamed and how we might use diet and other methods to reduce both the amount of visceral fat and its level of inflammation; thus reducing both obesity and its health consequences.

肥胖会导致糖尿病和心脏病，但并不是所有的身体脂肪都是有害的。腰部脂肪增加(特别是肠道和内脏周围的内脏脂肪)尤其糟糕。内脏脂肪分泌大量炎症分子。这项研究旨在了解内脏脂肪是如何发炎的，以及我们如何使用饮食和其他方法来减少内脏脂肪的数量及其炎症水平，从而减少肥胖及其对健康的影响。
