Summary
Chronic subaccute inflammation may underlie the development of diabetes cardiovascular
disease and other components of the metabolic syndrome. Rodent studies suggest diet induced
obesity is associated with activation of the IKK/NF-kB pathway and this pathway can be
inhibited by salicylates. This study seeks to determine the effect of salicylates in
overweight persons.
