The inflammasome has been linked to metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2
diabetes. Data now suggest that the crosstalk between the inflammasome and autophagy
critically mediates cytoplasmic receptor NLRP3–dependent activation of the inflammasome
by the saturated fatty acids contained in a high-fat diet.
