How Excess Fat Triggers Inflammation in Adipose Tissue #3048627 (License: Personal Use)

The image visually explains the pathological shift from healthy adipose tissue to a stressed, hypoxic, and pro-inflammatory state due to lipid overload. When excess fat accumulates, adipocytes enlarge, compress blood vessels, reduce oxygen supply, and recruit immune cells-resulting in chronic low-grade inflammation linked to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
