Body weight and visceral obesity were comparable between wild-type and KO mice. However, macrophage infiltration was reduced in adipose tissue and glucose intolerance was significantly ameliorated in KO mice. To further confirm that NKT cells are involved in these abnormalities, \u03b1-galactosylceramide, 0.1 \u03bcg\/g body weight, which specifically activates NKT cells, was administered after 13 weeks of HFD feeding. \u03b1-Galactosylceramide significantly exacerbated glucose intolerance and macrophage infiltration as well as cytokine gene expression in adipose tissue.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:bold>\n              <jats:italic>Conclusion\u2014<\/jats:italic>\n            <\/jats:bold>\n            NKT cells play a crucial role in the development of adipose tissue inflammation and glucose intolerance in diet-induced obesity.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/atvbaha.109.198614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,13]],"date-time":"2009-11-13T03:24:54Z","timestamp":1258082694000},"page":"193-199","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":190,"title":["Natural Killer T Cells Are Involved in Adipose Tissues Inflammation and Glucose Intolerance in Diet-Induced Obese Mice"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Kazue","family":"Ohmura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Hokkaido University Graduate School of Medicine, Sapparo, Japan (K.O., N.I., Y.O., S.T., A.N., S.H., Y.A., and H.T.);
