Metabolic remodeling of white adipose tissue in obesity [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2014 Adipose tissue metabolism is a critical regulator of adiposity and whole body energy expenditure; however, metabolic changes that occur in white adipose tissue (WAT) with obesity remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to understand the metabolic and bioenergetic changes occurring in WAT with obesity.

Beta‐adrenergic agonist induces unique transcriptomic signature in inguinal white adipose tissue
Physiological Reports, 2023 Activation of thermogenic adipose tissue depots has been linked to improved metabolism and weight loss. To study the molecular regulation of adipocyte thermogenesis, we performed RNA‐Seq on brown adipose tissue (BAT), gonadal white adipose tissue (gWAT),

Visceral adipose tissue activated macrophage content and inflammatory adipokine secretion is higher in pre-eclampsia than in healthy pregnancy [PDF]
, 2017 Obesity increases preeclampsia risk. Adipose tissue inflammation may contribute to the clinical syndrome of pre-eclampsia. We compared adipose tissue macrophage infiltration and release of pro-inflammatory adipokines in pre-eclampsia and healthy ...

Acute Rejection of White Adipose Tissue Allograft
Cell Transplantation, 2007 White adipose tissue (WAT) transplantation, although widely used in humans, has been done for cosmetic and reconstructive purposes only. Accumulating evidence indicates, however, that WAT is an important endocrine organ and, therefore, WAT transplantation may become valuable as a replacement therapy for a number of hereditary human diseases.

White adipose tissue uptake on 18F FDG PET/CT: A case report
Radiology Case ReportsThree distinct types of adipose tissue have been characterized: brown, white, and beige. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is typically found in specific regions including the anterior cervical, supraclavicular, axillary, and paravertebral areas.
