As a Storage Depot Introduction : Adipose Tissue As a Storage DepotIntroduction : Adipose Tissue As a Storage Depot
Adipose tissue has been considered until recently, just a depot for energy storage, which has the sole function of accretion in the form of triacylglycerols of excess energy. However, adipose tissue is now considered an active endocrine organ that releases a wide range of endocrine, paracrine and...
Gut microbiota deficient mice demonstrate accelerated glucose clearance. However, which tissues are responsible for the upregulated glucose uptake remains unresolved, with different studies suggesting that browning of white adipose tissue, or modulated h
Obesity and the role of adipose tissue in inflammation and metabolism Recent discoveries, notably of the hormones leptin and adiponectin, have revised the notion that adipocytes are simply a storage depot for body energy. Ins... AS Greenberg,MS Obin - 《American Journal of Clinical Nutrition》 ...
Adipose tissue is comprised of a vast range of cellular and noncellular components. By volume, adipocytes are the most prominent cell within a given white fat depot. However, by cell number, it is likely that mature adipocytes are in the minority due to the presence of a large network of ...
In conclusion, our results reveal depot-dependent effects of ATEs on co-cultured primary hepatocytes, which in part may be related to a more pronounced infiltration of stromal vascular cells (SVCs), particularly macrophages, in inguinal adipose tissue resulting in stronger responses in terms of ...
given that our analyses up to this point were limited to the subcutaneous adipose tissue depot from the thoracic region. Indeed, visceral adiposity is a stronger predictor of COVID-19 severity if compared to overall adiposity or subcutaneous fat mass15,16,17,18. Finally, the detection of viral...
Adipose tissue is a critical regulator of energy balance and substrate metabolism, and synthesizes several different substances with endocrine or paracrine functions, which regulate the overall energetic homeostasis. An excessive amount of adipose tissue has been associated with the development of type 2...
1 Role of adipose tissue in different biological processes The traditional view of adipose tissue as a passive reservoir for energy storage is no longer valid. As early as 1987, adipose tissue was identified as a major site for metabolism of sex steroids and production of adipsin, an endocrine...
two types ofadiposetissues in mammals,white adipose tissue(WAT) andbrown adipose tissue(BAT), which differ morphologically and functionally. In a nonobese human,WATis estimated to weigh 10–15 kg; it specializes in energy storage in the form oftriacylglycerols, the major energy reserves for ...
