Adipose tissue estimation of foraging and nesting green turtles Chelonia mydas using bioelectrical impedance analysis [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2023
Adipose tissue is the main energy store in sea turtles and fluctuates in response to dietary conditions and external stressors. Monitoring programmes commonly use body condition indices (BCIs) to infer the nutritional and health status of sea turtle ...

Thermoneutral housing promotes hepatic steatosis in standard diet-fed C57BL/6N mice, with a less pronounced effect on NAFLD progression upon high-fat feeding

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
IntroductionNon-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can progress to more severe stages, such as steatohepatitis and fibrosis. Thermoneutral housing together with high-fat diet promoted NAFLD progression in C57BL/6J mice.

Adipose tissue-specific ablation of PGC-1β impairs thermogenesis in brown fat

Disease Models & Mechanisms, 2022
Impaired thermogenesis observed in mice with whole-body ablation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1β (PGC-1β; officially known as PPARGC1B) may result from impaired brown fat (brown adipose tissue; BAT) function, but other ...

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Segmentation from CT Images with A Semi-3D Neural Network [PDF]

2021 International Symposium ELMAR, 2021, pp. 87-90, 2022
Epicardial adipose tissue is a type of adipose tissue located between the heart wall and a protective layer around the heart called the pericardium. The volume and thickness of epicardial adipose tissue are linked to various cardiovascular diseases. It is shown to be an independent cardiovascular disease risk factor.

The Role of Pleura and Adipose in Lung Ultrasound AI [PDF]

LL-COVID19 2021. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 12969. Springer, Cham, 2022
In this paper, we study the significance of the pleura and adipose tissue in lung ultrasound AI analysis. We highlight their more prominent appearance when using high-frequency linear (HFL) instead of curvilinear ultrasound probes, showing HFL reveals better pleura detail.

Exercise Training as Therapeutic Approach in Cancer Cachexia: A Review of Potential Anti-inflammatory Effect on Muscle Wasting

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Cachexia is a multifactorial inflammatory syndrome with high prevalence in cancer patients. It is characterized by a metabolic chaos culminating in drastic reduction in body weight, mainly due to skeletal muscle and fat depletion. Currently, there is not

X-ray attenuation of adipose breast tissue: in-vitro and in-vivo measurements using spectral imaging [PDF]

Proc. SPIE 9412, Medical Imaging 2015, 94121U, 2021
The development of new x-ray imaging techniques often requires prior knowledge of tissue attenuation, but the sources of such information are sparse. We have measured the attenuation of adipose breast tissue using spectral imaging, in vitro and in vivo.

Measurement of breast-tissue x-ray attenuation by spectral imaging: fresh and fixed normal and malignant tissue [PDF]

Physics in Medicine & Biology, 63(23) (2018), 2021
Knowledge of x-ray attenuation is essential for developing and evaluating x-ray imaging technologies. In mammography, measurement of breast density, dose estimation, and differentiation between cysts and solid tumours are example applications requiring accurate data on tissue attenuation.

Distinct Shades of Adipocytes Control the Metabolic Roles of Adipose Tissues: From Their Origins to Their Relevance for Medical Applications

Biomedicines, 2021
Adipose tissue resides in specific depots scattered in peripheral or deeper locations all over the body and it enwraps most of the organs. This tissue is always in a dynamic evolution as it must adapt to the metabolic demand and constraints.
