In addition, other inflammatory immune cells, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/asweetlife.org\/robert\/blogs\/the-immune-response\/1348\/\" target=\"_blank\">macrophages<\/a>, are also activated within fat tissue.<br \/> The recent study looked at obese people with Type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes who were limited to a diet of between 1000 and 1600 calories a day for 24 weeks. Gastric banding was performed at 12 weeks to help restrict food intake further.<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The results showed an 80% reduction of pro-inflammatory T-helper cells, as well as reduced activation of other circulating immune cells (T cells, monocytes and neutrophils) and decreased activation of macrophages in fat.\u00a0 They are published in the <em>Journal of Clinical Endocrinology Metabolism<\/em>, now online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scientists from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney Australia have shown for
