Abstract

Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) are a main target during inflammation and metabolic syndromes as receptors for inflammatory signaling molecules, and are named numerically from 1 to 13 in humans. It is believed that TLR4 plays a key role in exercise training-induced anti-inflammatory effects, whereas new evidence shows that TLR4 is the main receptor in fatty acid-induced inflammation. In this review, we summarized classical theories, and the new discovery in the field of fatty acidinduced inflammation through TLR4. Further, we highlight the anti-inflammation ability of exercise through regulating TLR4 as we try to acquire new clues for the treatment of metabolic diseases, and understand the regulatory effect of exercise.
