Abstract (original English)

Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM 2) are two interrelated metabolic diseases widespread throughout the developed world. However, up to 30% of individuals with a long history of obesity do not have a carbohydrate metabolism disorder. This article presents the results of a multi-year study of adipose tissue biology in obese individuals with DM 2 compared with individuals with the same history of obesity without DM 2. Comparative analysis of hormonal, cellular, and genetic factors in two groups of patients showed that DM 2 occurs in individuals with abnormal proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of adipose tissue. It leads to adipocyte hypertrophy and inflammatory infiltration of adipose tissue macrophages, resulting in increased insulin resistance and diabetogenic effects. These disorders are due to abnormal expression of genes responsible for the proliferation and adipogenic differentiation of MSCs. The study of the possible reversibility of abnormal changes in adipose tissue MSCs in obese patients after significant weight loss and DM 2 remission appears to be a promising research direction. The ability to control adipose tissue progenitor cells may represent a new target for treating and preventing metabolic disorders in obesity.
