Alteration of adipose tissue mass in obesity increases the production of most adipose secreted factors; therefore white adipose tissue could play a key role in multiple metabolic disorders and in the increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with obesity. In fact, increased activity of tumor...
In this Review, we discuss the functional role of adipose tissue-derived endocrine hormones for metabolic adaptations to the environment and we highlight how these factors contribute to the development of cardiometabolic diseases. We also cover how this knowledge can be translated into human therapies...
The tension to which the tissue stress relaxed over 30 minutes was recorded; the tension lost was stress relaxation. The presence of PVAT increased the amount of stress relaxation (final tension in mgs; aortic ring −PVAT = 4578 ± 190; aortic ring + PVAT = 2730...
Learn what adipose tissue is and how it is referred to as fat. Discover where the adipose tissue is found, about adipose cells, and the function of...

One of the earliest reports of adipose tissue was made by the Swiss naturalist Conrad Gessner in 1551 (as translated by Cannon and Nedergaard [1]). However, the notion that adipose tissue was composed of living lipid-laden cells was hotly debated [2]. The past decades have seen a remarkabl...
Cell culture of adipocytes is a valuable research tool for studies of adipose tissue functions.The first aim of this thesis was to optimize culture conditions for Atlantic salmon primary cellsderived from the adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (aSVF).Firstly, we have tested how different leve...
Pathological accumulation of body fat can cause many health problems: insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes mellitus type 2. It may also increase morbidity and mortality. Adipose tissue plays an important role in body homeostasis by producing and secreting several bioactive ...
large for gestational age (LGA) occur29,30. The PNA rat offspring are not obese but exhibit metabolic disturbances and dysfunction of adipose tissue, as reflected by altered adipocyte size, high circulating triglycerides (TG), non-alcoholic fatty liver and reproductive dysfunction22. Thus, there is...
Distribution kinetics of 5-ethyl-substituted oxy-, N-alkyl-, and thiobarbiturates covering a range of partition coefficients of octanol/water (log P 1.6 to 4.1) were determined in rats. Concentration-time curves for plasma, adipose tissue, liver, and muscle after single iv administration were ...
