The authors compared the circulating concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, cholesterol, insulin, leptin, adiponectin, TNF-α, and IL-1β in client-owned lean, OW, and OB cats treated routinely at the Veterinary Veterinary World, EISSN: 2231-0916 and increased proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-1β concentration.
