Recombinant Acylation Stimulating Protein Administration to C3(−/−) Mice Increases Insulin Resistance via Adipocyte Inflammatory Mechanisms

BACKGROUND: Complement 3 (C3), a key component of the innate immune system, is involved in early inflammatory responses. Acylation stimulating protein (ASP; aka C3adesArg), a C3 cleavage product, is produced in adipose tissue and stimulates lipid storage. We hypothesized that, depending on the diet,...
