This review is focused on the influence of salicylates as well as preparations used for the treatment of obesity, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, and atherosclerosis on the functional state of the adipose tissue and the inflammatory processes affecting it. Many of these medicines show the anti-inflammatory activity mediated through a variety of mechanisms. There is thus far no medicamental preparations for the specific treatment of adipose tissue inflammation. Nevertheless, the anti-inflammatory action of certain drugs should be taken into consideration when they are prescribed for the treatment of clinical conditions with concomitant obesity and suspicion of inflammation of the adipose tissue.
