States of overnutrition, such as in obesity, are associated with impairment of lymphatic function, leading to localized lymphoedema, adipogenesis and insulin resistance. Conversely, compromised lymphatic vasculature integrity can induce adiposity and accelerate insulin resistance. Through the use of advanced 'omics' and bioinformatic technologies coupled with functional experiments in cells, mice and humans, we now know that the lymphatic system is more than just a transport conduit and is intimately involved in tissue and organ homeostasis, including in adipose tissue. In this Review, we summarize the interconnected causes of obesity and lymphatic dysfunction with a particular focus on delineating the underappreciated yet fundamental crosstalk between the lymphatic network and white and brown adipose tissues. We also synthesize information on lymph-directed therapeutic strategies that have the potential to transform outcomes in obesity.","PeriodicalId":18916,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Endocrinology","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":40.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147465232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that scientific discussions about the role of hyperinsulinaemia as a causal factor in these conditions have not sufficiently distinguished between postprandial insulin excursions and chronically elevated basal levels of insulin. We summarize findings from observational and experimental human trials, as well as preclinical models, and outline how reasonable evidence suggests that chronic (basal) exposure to elevated levels of insulin, rather than normal postprandial insulin excursions in isolation, might have a role in promoting or exacerbating the development of adiposity. We discuss the putative contributors to hyperinsulinaemia, including genetic predisposition, early-life influences, diet, environmental pollutants and physical inactivity, highlighting causality knowledge gaps relevant to the prevention of obesity and cardiometabolic diseases.","PeriodicalId":18916,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Endocrinology","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":40.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147381319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The gut microbiome is a complex ecosystem that establishes lifelong dynamic interactions with the host at multiple levels (several gut-organ axes), differently influencing ageing patterns and age-related disease onset and progression across populations. Accordingly, the definition of a 'normative' gut microbiome remains elusive, depending largely on the interaction with the external environment. In this complex scenario, the causal role of the gut microbiome in defining the ageing trajectory and its precise contribution to various organ-specific age-related diseases is still uncertain in clinical terms and could be context specific. Multiparametric and uniqueness indexes within a given population have shown a certain capacity for predicting disability and mortality. However, the gut microbiome is shaped over time by exposure to different intrinsic and environmental factors, resulting in a high degree of inter-individual variability, a key phenomenon that should be considered to develop novel personalized strategies to counteract age-related disease and frailty.","PeriodicalId":18916,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Endocrinology","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":40.5,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147346368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
