In the particular case of the skin adipose depot, dermal white adipose tissue has been recently described as a contributor to a wide range of events including hair formation and cycle and cutaneous wound healing. This chapter aims to provide an overview of the role of adipose tissue and their...
What is the function and location of adipose tissue? Different types of adipose tissue have different functions and are located in different parts of the body. White adipose tissue can be found around the organs as visceral fat or as a cushion under the skin as subcutaneous fat. It can also...
Studies show that it influences energy homeostasis, inhibits insulin signaling in adipose tissue and liver, and influences adipose tissue function and expansion. The insulin resistance promoted by TNF-α happens by suppression of proteins involved in the insulin-dependent intake of glucose and by ...
A number of adipokines, including leptin and adiponectin, have well-established effects on kidney function; adiponectin might also be produced locally within the kidney and exert important metabolic functions in an autocrine fashion As a source of pro-inflammatory cytokines, adipose tissue might exert ...
Human stromal (mesenchymal) stem cells from bone marrow, adipose tissue and skin exhibit differences in molecular phenotype and differentiation potential. Stem cell reviews. 2013;9(1):32-43. : 10.1007/s12015-012-9365-8 .Al-Nbaheen M, Vishnubalaji R, Ali D, Bouslimi A, Al-...

Epithelial Epithelial tissue is made of closely-packed cells arranged in flat sheets. Epithelia form the surface of the skin‚ line the various cavities and tubes of the body‚ and cover the internal organs. Subsets of Epithelia Epithelia that form the interface between the internal and ...
Furthermore, tissue wasting in these model systems was due in part to altered exocrine pancreatic function that developed with early pancreatic cancer, leading to nutrient malabsorption and wasting of peripheral tissues11. Among patients with localized pancreatic cancer, more than half of patients have...
function [11]. Adipose tissue can also be categorized according to the specific depots, with subcutaneous fat (SAT) and visceral fat (VAT) being a large proportion of WAT and being investigated in many previous studies. Adipose tissue undergoes dramatic changes in various aspects during aging [...
