Inhibition of basal IL-6 activity promotes subcutaneous fat retention in humans during fasting and postprandial states Trinh et al. demonstrate that basal IL-6 activity regulates fat uptake and storage. IL-6 enhances skeletal muscle fat uptake, promotes fat release from subcutaneous adipose tissue during fasting, and ...

Images in Clinical Medicine Exogenous Lipoid Pneumonia Panel A: High-resolution CT of the chest. Panel B: A photo of yellow secretions observed in the bronchial lumen during bronchoscopy. Panel C: The secretions separated out in the bronchoalveolar-lavage (BAL) fluid. Panel D: Cytologic examination of the BAL fluid showing lipid-laden macrophages and extracellular droplets of oil. Panel E: Histopathological analysis of a lung-biopsy specimen showing numerous macrophages phagocytosing lipid droplets.

A 38-year-old woman with a history of disordered eating was found to have ground-glass opacities on a chest CT. Cytologic examination of bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid showed lipid-laden macrophages and droplets of oil. Full case details: nej.md/428CqI5
