Human Differentiated Adipocytes as Surrogate Mature Adipocytes for Adipocyte-Derived Extracellular Vesicle Analysis. [PDF]
CellsObesity is a growing global health concern, contributing to diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and neurodegenerative conditions. Adipose tissue dysfunction, characterized by abnormal adipokine secretion and chronic inflammation, plays a key role in these conditions.

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2010 Lipolysis in adipocytes, the hydrolysis of triacylglycerol (TAG) to release fatty acids (FAs) and glycerol for use by other organs, is a unique function of white adipose tissue. Lipolysis in adipocytes occurs at the surface of cytosolic lipid droplets, which have recently gained much attention as dynamic organelles integral to lipid metabolism ...

The Adipocyte and Adaptive Immunity [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Not only do Adipocytes have energy storage and endocrine functions, but they also play an immunological role. Adipocytes are involved in adaptive immunity to mediate the pathological processes of a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases and autoimmune syndromes.

Current Biology, 2014 SummaryIn the United States alone, one-third of adults and nearly one-quarter of children are clinically obese. This growing epidemic is of serious concern as obesity confers a significant risk to developing numerous chronic conditions, including cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. The alarming incidence of obesity and the rising costs of treating the

PPARs and adipocyte function [PDF]
Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2010 For long viewed as passive lipid storage depots, adipocytes are now recognised as key players in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and metabolic disease. In parallel, the last two decades of research have seen the emergence of transcription factors of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family as central regulators of lipid and ...

Role of adipocyte-derived lipoprotein lipase in adipocyte hypertrophy [PDF]
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2007 A major portion of available fatty acids for adipocyte uptake is derived from lipoprotein lipase (LPL)-mediated hydrolysis of circulating lipoprotein particles. In vivo studies aimed at identifying the precise role of adipocyte-derived LPL in fat storage function of adipose tissue have been unable to provide conclusive evidence due to compensatory ...

European Journal of Cell Biology, 2013 Adipocytes are the main constituent of adipose tissue and are considered to be a corner stone in the homeostatic control of whole body metabolism. Their primary function is to control energy balance by storing triacylglycerol in periods of energy excess and mobilizing it during energy deprivation.

Weighing in on Adipocyte Precursors [PDF]
Cell Metabolism, 2014 Obesity, defined as an excessive increase in white adipose tissue (WAT), is a global health epidemic. In obesity, WAT expands by increased adipocyte size (hypertrophy) and number (hyperplasia). The location and cellular mechanisms of WAT expansion greatly affect the pathogenesis of obesity.

Adipocyte, 2012 When Ron Landes approached me last summer with the idea to launch a journal dedicated to adipose tissue research, it resonated immediately; I loved the idea. Thus, it is with great pleasure that we launch Adipocyte, the first international peer-reviewed multi-disciplinary journal to focus exclusively on research covering all aspects of adipose tissue ...

Cell Metabolism, 2010 We are pleased to present in this issue of Cell Metabolism a review series on brown adipocytes. Until recently, brown adipose tissue (BAT) was principally studied by a handful of investigators focused on rodents and newborn mammals, and, at times, their work was deemed more an exercise in scientific curiosity than an issue relevant to human health.
