Timing of Adiposity Rebound and Adiposity in Adolescence [PDF]
PEDIATRICS, 2014 To investigate associations between timing of adiposity rebound (AR; the period in childhood where BMI begins to increase from its nadir) and adiposity (BMI, fat mass) at age 15 years in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).The sample consisted of 546 children with AR derived in childhood and BMI and fat mass index (FMI; fat ...

Involvement of Alternative Splicing Regulation in Adipose Tissue Thermogenic Induction [PDF]
, 2023 [eng] Alternative splicing (AS) is a gene expression regulatory mechanism that enables generation of multiple mRNA isoforms from a single gene which commonly are translated into proteins.

Childhood adiposity, adult adiposity, and bone health [PDF]
Pediatric Investigation, 2021 ABSTRACTImportanceChildhood and adolescence are critical periods for lifelong bone mineral accrual, but few studies have determined the impact of childhood adiposity on adult bone density.ObjectiveTo determine the long‐term impact of childhood adiposity on adult areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and the effect of adult adiposity on this relationship ...

Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, 1962 In a clinical context, the term "overweight" usually connotes adiposity, an excess of body fat. In the absence of any direct or simple indirect methods of measuring total body fat, medical research workers often use formulae (indices) which relate body weight to stature.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells : tissue localization, characterization, and heterogeneity [PDF]
, 2012 Adipose tissue as a stem cell source is ubiquitously available and has several advantages compared to other sources. It is easily accessible in large quantities with minimal invasive harvesting procedure, and isolation of adipose-derived mesenchymal ...

Adipose-specific phospholipase as regulator of adiposity [PDF]
Nutrition Reviews, 2009 A white adipose-tissue-specific intracellular phospholipase, which releases arachidonic acid from position sn-2 of phospholipids, was recently discovered and named AdPLA. When AdPLA was induced by feeding or by insulin treatment, the arachidonic acid released from phospholipids acted as a precursor for the formation of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2 ...

The genetics of adiposity [PDF]
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018 Genome-wide discovery efforts have identified more than 500 genetic loci associated with adiposity traits. The vast majority of these loci were found through large-scale meta-analyses for body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and in European ancestry populations.
