Immunometabolic crosstalk at multiple levels. The crosstalk between immune and metabolic mechanisms operates at multiple levels in the body to maintain homeostasis. The intricate crosstalk also crucially contributes to the development of systemic, tissue, and cellular dysfunction and disease. One key pathological mechanism mediated by immunometabolic crosstalk is chronic inflammation. The interaction between immune and metabolic cells is exemplified here by interaction between a macrophage and an adipocyte (82).
