ZyVersa Therapeutics Highlights Publication Indicating That Inflammasome NLRP3-Mediated Inflammation in Obese Children Leads to Insulin Resistance and Risk of Complications Such as Type 2 Diabetes
ZyVersa is developing Inflammasome ASC Inhibitor IC 100 which inhibits NLRP3 and other types of inflammasomes and their associated ASC specks to attenuate initiation and perpetuation of damaging inflammation.

- In the paper titled, “Altered insulin secretion dynamics relate to oxidative stress and inflammasome activation in children with obesity and insulin resistance,” the authors conducted a case-controlled study of 132 children who were either lean or obese.
- The authors concluded, “It is insulin response to an OGTT that identifies children with obesity suffering oxidative stress, and inflammasome activation more specifically.
- “The research published in the Journal of Translational Medicine points to a significant role for inflammasome-mediated inflammation and oxidative stress in development of metabolic complications in obese children.
