The cellularity of the adipose tissue of predominantly carnivorous birds does not differ from that of mainly herbivorous species. The adipocytes in the abdominal cavity and around the thigh are on average 29% larger than those in the superficial and clavicular depots; however, these site-specific ...
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...
Biopsy samples of adipose tissue from the upper thigh were collected in spring and in late summer/autumn from 370 wild polar bears (Ursus maritimus), including adult females with and without cubs, adult males and juveniles. Mean adipocyte volume was measured from all samples and chemical assays ...

GPR120 is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed preferentially in the intestinal tract and adipose tissue, that has been implicated in mediating free fatty acid-stimulated glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. To develop GPR120-specific agonists, a series of compounds (denoted as NCG compou...
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is a thermogenic effector abundant in most mammalian infants. For multiparous species such as rats and mice, the interscapular BAT deposit provides both an emergency "thermal blanket" and a target for nestmates seeking warmth, thereby increasing the cohesiveness of huddlin...
Our understanding of adipose tissue physiology and pathophysiology has substantially increased during the last decade. Notably, white adipose tissue (WAT) dysfunction has been proposed as a critical determinant of obesity-associated metabolic complicatio
The epidermis is the most superficial layer and consists of packed epithelial cells. The middle layer, the dermis, is made of connective tissue, blood and lymphatic vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. Beneath the dermis lies subcutaneous tissue, which is composed of adipose tissue. In ...
