Common nutrition-associated diseases like obesity and type 2 diabetes are linked to chronic low-grade inflammation. The secreted glycopeptide wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site family member 5a (wnt5a) has been implicated in metabolic inflammation in rodent models, suggesting a potential treatment target. Data on the role of wnt5a in human physiology have yielded conflicting results.
