The study highlights the importance of succinate signaling through the SUCNR1 receptor in determining macrophage polarization and assigns a role to succinate in limiting inflammation in adipose tissue.This is a key finding for improving our understanding of the pathophysiology of adipose tissue in obesity and other metabolic diseases.
