1Adipose tissue Adipose tissueis a type of loose connective tissue where excess energy is stored in the form oftriglycerides. Besides its role in energyhomeostasis, adipose tissue has a variety of functions such asheat production, insulation, mechanical protection of the organs. The structure of ad...
The accumulation of adipose tissue is largely influenced by the genetic background of cattle. Bioinformatics Analyses of Bovine Adipose Tissue Transcriptome from Lilu Beef Cattle at Different Stages of Growth Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), avisceral adipose tissue surrounding the heart and the coronary...
As a result, human exposure to these toxicants is inevitable. Largely due to their lipophilicity, POPs bioaccumulate in adipose tissue, resulting in greater body burdens of these environmental toxicants with obesity. POPs of major concern include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated ...
There are two types of adipose tissues in mammals, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), which differ morphologically and functionally. In a nonobese human, WAT is estimated to weigh 10–15 kg; it specializes in energy storage in the form of triacylglycerols, the major...
Related to White adipose tissue:Brown adipose tissue ad·i·pose (ăd′ə-pōs′) adj. Of, relating to, or composed of animal fat; fatty. n. The fat found in adipose tissue. [New Latinadipōsus, from Latinadeps, adip-,fat.] ...
NT-3 is highly expressed in brown/beige adipocytes, and potently stimulates sympathetic neuron neurite growth. NT-3/TRKC regulates a plethora of pathways in neuronal axonal growth and elongation. Adipose tissue sympathetic innervation is significantly increased in mice with adipocyte-specific NT-3 ...
Adipose Tissue is a unique biological resource capable of providing vast amounts of matrix, bioactive factors, and a variety of cell types. Due to its unmatched abundance, expendability, ease of harvest, and mass donor appeal, adipose tissue lends itself to a variety of therapeutic strategies. ...
White adipose tissue Adipose tissue is one of the largest organs in the body, making up percentages of bodyweight from 5% in lean men to over 50% in the morbidly obese. In mammals, three functionally different types of adipose tissue have been described: BAT, WAT, and bone marrow adipose ...
