Increased innate immune responses in adolescents with obesity and its relation to subclinical cardiovascular measures: An exploratory study.
Abstract

In a cross-sectional and longitudinal study, we investigated immune cell composition and activation in 31 adolescents with obesity (41.9% male, BMIz>2.5, 14.4 years) and 22 controls with healthy weight (45.1% male, -1.5
