Abstract
⺠Risk factors for stroke include atherosclerosis, obesity, diabetes and hypertension. ⺠Stroke risk factors are associated with peripheral inflammation. ⺠Corpulent rats and atherogenic mice show increased inflammation in the brain. ⺠Pilot data show that patients at risk of stroke may also develop brain inflammation. ⺠Chronic peripheral inflammation can drive inflammatory changes in the brain.
