Visceral adiposity increases the release of pro-inflammatory adipokines and reduces the protective counterpart, causing immune cell infiltration, liver injury, and the subsequent pathological syndromes. The increase in the release of FFAs and glycerol to the liver from visceral fat also promotes lipid peroxidation and thus increases HCC risks. MDSCs: myeloid-derived suppressor cells.
