Chronic inflammation has arised as a major underlying cause of atherosclerosis, obesity<br />

and diabetes. It is mediated by cells of innate immune system like macrophages but<br />

also by their antecedents, monocytes in circulation. Roles of monocyte subsets and different<br />

markers of monocyte activation in the context of metabolic disorders have been<br />

reviewed. Applying cell based approach through flow cytometry in this field has resulted<br />

with new understanding of pathophysiologic mechanisms. Possible implications of<br />

these insights in diagnosis, prognosis and revealing of therapeutic targets in metabolic<br />

disorders remain a challenge for future.<br />
