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...
Reduction of adipose tissue mass, through weight reduction in association with exercise, has been shown to improve the adipokines production (reduction in TNF-伪 and IL-6, increase in adiponectin) while the thiazolinedione drugs increase endogenous adiponectin production. These results support the idea...
Adipose tissue, connective tissue consisting mainly of fat cells (adipose cells, or adipocytes), specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat, within a structural network of fibres. It is found mainly under the skin but also in deposits be
In health, PVAT secretes anti-contractile factors that relax the underlying artery. PVAT’s contributions to vascular function include more than production of vasoactive substances. We hypothesized that PVAT benefits the artery by assisting the function
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...
Our studies further demonstrate that ATMs are functional antigen-presenting cells that promote the proliferation of interferon-gamma-producing CD4(+) T cells in adipose tissue. ATMs from lean and obese visceral fat process and present major histocompatibility complex (NBC) class II-restricted antigens...
Appearance of brown adipocytes in white adipose tissue during CL 316,243-induced reversal of obesity and diabetes in Zucker fa/fa rats. 1997. Appearance of brown adipocytes in white adipose tissue during CL 316,243-induced reversal of obesity and diabetes in Zucker fa/fa rats . Int. J... ...
Obesity has been related to a chronic pro-inflammatory state affecting white adipose tissue (WAT), which has a great impact on carbohydrate, lipid and energy metabolism. In turn, the dysregulation of adipokine secretion derived from the accumulation of excess lipids in adipocytes further contributes ...
Non-shivering thermogenesis in adipose tissue can be activated by excessive energy intake or following cold exposure. The molecular mechanisms regulating this activation have not been fully elucidated. The Janus kinase (JAK) - signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) pathway mediates the...
Recent studies indicate a possible role of TSH/TSHR signalling axis on adipogenesis and adipose tissue physiology. Here, we aimed to investigate the relationship between adipose tissue TSHB and adipose tissue physiology-related gene expression. Subcutane
