Body fat causes inflammation...which causes more fat!

Once upon a time fat cell were seen as dormant energy storage compartments however we now know that fatty tissues of the body secrete hormones. Some of the hormones produced by fat cells are Leptin, Resistin and Adiponectin.
Leptin is involved in appetite control. Resistin is a hormone that increases insulin resistance. Adiponectin lowers the blood sugar by making your body more insulin sensitive.
The fact that it is the fatty tissue that produces these hormones makes the fat self regulating, as the hormones should act to bring the increased fat under control. Bodies with more fat will produce more of the hormone leptin bringing the appetite under control. However in cases where the body is inflamed there is often a problem with leptin resistance and the self regulation of fat does not occur. Leptin resistance is where to body stops responding to the appetite controlling effects of the hormone.
In addition to this metabolic regulating hormone your fatty tissue also produces chemicals that cause inflammation and this can make the problem of leptin resistance worse. This is why obesity can cause an increase of these inflammatory chemicals which in turn inhibit the correct balancing function of the weight controlling hormones. This results in a vicious circle of weight gain causing inflammation/ excessive water retention which inhibits hormone function thereby causing further weight gain.
