The immune cells in adipose tissue [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, 2013
Although the pathological role of the immune system in several metabolic disorders, including type 1 diabetes mellitus ( T1DM ) and Addison's disease, has long been recognized and studied, only in the last decade has it become apparent that the immune system plays a broad and more subtle role

Association of liver enzymes and lipid profile with body fat distribution in Mexican university students

open access: yesArchivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición
Introduction: Evidence suggests that the type of adipose tissue distribution contributes to a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. It has been observed that visceral adipose tissue is highly lipolytic, and lipid distribution is primarily ...

RIP140 represses the “Brown-in-White” adipocyte program including a futile cycle of triacyclglycerol breakdown and synthesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

White adipose tissue resilience to insulin deprivation and replacement. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Adipocyte size and body fat distribution are strongly linked to the metabolic complications of obesity. The aim of the present study was to test the plasticity of white adipose tissue in response to insulin deprivation and replacement.

An Adipocyte MKK3-p38β Axis Preserves Insulin Responsiveness in Mice and Is Reciprocally Altered in Human Obesity. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Sci (Weinh)
The adipocyte MKK3–p38β axis emerges as an adaptive stress‐response pathway during obesity. Human visceral adipose tissue analyses, adipocyte‐specific mouse models, and primary adipocytes show that the MKK3–p38β axis supports insulin responsiveness by restraining p70S6K‐dependent inhibitory IRS1 feedback and preserving AKT–GLUT4 signaling. This pathway

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

The anti-angiogenic herbal composition Ob-X inhibits adipose tissue growth in obese mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Objective: The growth and development of adipose tissue are thought to be associated with angiogenesis and extracellular matrix remodeling. Since the composition of the herbal extract called Ob-X has been shown to have both anti-angiogenic and matrix ...

Elevated soluble CD163 in gestational diabetes mellitus : secretion from human placenta and adipose tissue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recently soluble CD163 (sCD163), a cleaved form of the macrophage receptor CD163, was identified as a macrophage-specific risk-predictor for developing Type 2 Diabetes.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

Rab4b Deficiency in T Cells Promotes Adipose Treg/Th17 Imbalance, Adipose Tissue Dysfunction, and Insulin Resistance

open access: yesCell Reports, 2018
Summary: Obesity modifies T cell populations in adipose tissue, thereby contributing to adipose tissue inflammation and insulin resistance. Here, we show that Rab4b, a small GTPase governing endocytic trafficking, is pivotal in T cells for the ...
