Adipose-Derived Stem Cells: Isolation, Characterization, and Differentiation Potential

Cell Transplantation, 2013
In mammals, the two main types of adipose tissues, white and brown adipose tissues, exert different physiological functions. White adipose tissue (WAT) is for storing energy, while brown adipose tissue (BAT) is for energy consumption.

PVAT and Its Relation to Brown, Beige, and White Adipose Tissue in Development and Function

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Adipose tissue is commonly categorized into three types with distinct functions, phenotypes, and anatomical localizations. White adipose tissue (WAT) is the major energy store; the largest depots of WAT are found in subcutaneous or intravisceral sites ...

Macrophage HM13/SPP Enhances Foamy Macrophage Formation and Atherogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Previous research suggests that AIP may prevent atherogenic foamy macrophage formation. This study reveals that AIP, via its chaperone interaction with AHR, inhibits p38‐c‐JUN‐mediated transactivation of HM13, which encodes the ERAD protease HM13/SPP. HM13/SPP promotes foamy macrophage formation in addition to atherogenesis and plaque foamy macrophage ...

The Impact of the Adipose Organ Plasticity on Inflammation and Cancer Progression

Cells, 2019
Obesity is characterized by chronic and low-grade systemic inflammation, an increase of adipose tissue, hypertrophy, and hyperplasia of adipocytes.

TGR5 signalling promotes mitochondrial fission and beige remodelling of white adipose tissue

Nature Communications, 2018
Remodelling of energy storing white fat into energy expending beige fat could be a promising strategy to reduce adiposity. Here, we show that the bile acid-responsive membrane receptor TGR5 mediates beiging of the subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT)

Sulforaphane induces adipocyte browning and promotes glucose and lipid utilization [PDF]

, 2016
Scope: Obesity is closely related to the imbalance of white adipose tissue storing excess calories, and brown adipose tissue dissipating energy to produce heat in mammals.

Metabolic control by AMPK in white adipose tissue

Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2023
White adipose tissue (WAT) plays an important role in the integration of whole-body metabolism by storing fat and mobilizing triacylglycerol when needed. The released free fatty acids can then be oxidized by other tissues to provide ATP. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a key regulator of metabolic pathways, and can be targeted by a new ...

Depletion of Hepatic SREBP2 Protects Against Hypercholesterolemia and Atherosclerosis through the ANGPTL3‐LPL Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a novel crosstalk between hepatic SREBP2‐mediated cholesterol biosynthesis pathway and peripheral lipoprotein lipase‐mediated lipolysis pathway in the regulation of systemic lipid metabolism. Notably, the lipid‐lowering effects of SREBP2 inhibition are independent of a functional LDL receptor, highlighting the potential of acute ...

Aortic carboxypeptidase-like protein enhances adipose tissue stromal progenitor differentiation into myofibroblasts and is upregulated in fibrotic white adipose tissue. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
White adipose tissue expands through both adipocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia and it is hypothesized that fibrosis or excess accumulation of extracellular matrix within adipose tissue may limit tissue expansion contributing to metabolic dysfunction ...

Ortho-positronium Lifetime For Soft-tissue Classification [PDF]

Scientific Reports 14.1 (2024): 21155
The objective of this work is to showcase the ortho-positronium lifetime as a probe for soft-tissue characterization. We employed positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy to experimentally measure the three components of the positron annihilation lifetime para-positronium (p-Ps), positron, and ortho-positronium (o-Ps) for three types of porcine, non-
