  • Analysis of hormones (leptin, insulin), neuropeptides, immune proteins, and transcription factors (PPARs).

    • Main Results:

    • Metabolic factors significantly influence immune surveillance and function.
    • Cytokines, hormones, and other molecules act as crucial mediators.
    • Glucose metabolism is a key component of this interaction.

    Conclusions:

    • A deeper understanding of the metabolism-immune network is emerging.
    • This knowledge could lead to novel therapeutic strategies.
    • Potential for treating various immune-mediated diseases is significant.
