Abstract: Obesity has always associated with an array of metabolic syndromes. Obesity-induced chronic inflammation has become one of the hottest research fields because it is closely related to the incidence of the metabolic syndromes. The occurrence of the chronic inflammation involving several tissues and systems is extremely complicated. Recent researches referring to the chronic inflammation indicated that adipokines， immune system， endoplasmic reticulum stress， autophagy， lipopolysaccharide and so on consist a signal-net which may participate in the initiation and progress of the chronic inflammation. Here we briefly review the latest research about the mechanism underlying the relationship between the chronic inflammation and the obesity.
