Obesity is characterized by a low grade inflammatory state, which could play a role in insulin resistance.

Why do people persist in getting it backwards. Insulin resistance causes obeisty, not the other way around. There's some evidence that visceral adipose tissue is hormonally active in ways that contribute to IR, but it's insulin that promotes visceral adipose tissue in the first place.
