Integrin αV Mediates the Effects of Irisin on Human Mature Adipocytes
Obesity Facts, 2022 Introdution and Aims: The myokine irisin is critical to modulating adipocytes thermogenesis and influence whole-body metabolism. However, whether there is difference in the effects of irisin on adipocytes derived from different depots remains unknown ...

AMP-Activated Kinase (AMPK) Activation by AICAR in Human White Adipocytes Derived from Pericardial White Adipose Tissue Stem Cells Induces a Partial Beige-Like Phenotype. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Beige adipocytes are special cells situated in the white adipose tissue. Beige adipocytes, lacking thermogenic cues, morphologically look quite similar to regular white adipocytes, but with a markedly different response to adrenalin.

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 ...

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

Stimulation of glucose utilization in 3T3 adipocytes and rat diaphragm in vitro by the sulphonylureas, glimepiride and glibenclamide, is correlated with modulations of the cAMP regulatory cascade [PDF]
, 1994 The long-term hypoglycemic activity of sulphonylurea drugs has been attributed, in part at least, to the stimulation of glucose utilization in extra-pancreatic tissues. The novel sulphonylurea, glimepiride, gives rise to a longer lasting reduction in the

The role of melanocortins and cytokines in human adipose tissue and adipocytes [PDF]
, 2007 During the last decades obesity has become a major health problem in developed countries, and more recently also in the developing countries it is seriously affecting parts of the populations.

Lipopolysaccharide, high glucose and saturated fatty acids induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured primary human adipocytes : salicylate alleviates this stress [PDF]
, 2010 Recent findings indicate that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is significantly increased in adipose tissue of obese human subjects and is critical to the initiation and integration of pathways of inflammation and insulin action.

Characterization of human bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells as a model for in vitro adipocytes studies [PDF]
, 2013 Overweight and obesity are major problems of public health in many countries worldwide. Overweight can cause severe diseases such as type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, stroke, heart failure and several types of cancer.

Dydrogesterone and norethisterone regulate expression of lipoprotein lipase and hormones-sensitive lipase in human subcutaneous abdominal adipocytes [PDF]
, 2007 Aim: In premenopausal women, hyper-androgenicity is associated with central obesity and an increased cardiovascular risk. We investigated the effects of dydrogesterone (DYD)(a non-androgenic progestogen) and norethisterone (NET)(an androgenic progestogen)

RIP140 represses the “Brown-in-White” adipocyte program including a futile cycle of triacyclglycerol breakdown and synthesis [PDF]
, 2014 Receptor-interacting protein 140 (RIP140) is a corepressor of nuclear receptors that is highly expressed in adipose tissues. We investigated the role of RIP140 in conditionally immortal preadipocyte cell lines prepared from white or brown fat depots.
