Subcutaneous Transplantation of White Adipose Tissue
2023In the research setting, white adipose tissue (WAT) transplantation, also known as fat transplantation, is often used to understand the physiological function of adipocytes or associated stromal vascular cells such as macrophages in the context of local and systemic metabolism.

Maintenance of white adipose tissue in man
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2014Obesity is increasing in an epidemic manner in most countries and constitutes a public health problem by enhancing the risk for diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. Together these diseases form a cluster referred to as the metabolic syndrome.

White adipose tissue (WAT) is one of the most abundant tissues in mammals, exhibiting numerous complex functions. The primary purpose of WAT is to store excess energy in the form of fat for future use by other cells of the organism during periods of energy deprivation.

Circadian rhythms in white adipose tissue
2012Adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ. It is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism by secreting factors (adipokines) that regulate appetite, food intake, glucose disposal, and energy expenditure. Many of these adipokines display profound day/night rhythms, and accumulating evidence links disruption of these rhythms to metabolic ...

Organization of white adipose tissue in lemuridae
American Journal of Primatology, 1995AbstractThe gross anatomy of white adipose tissue was studied in seven carcasses representing three lemurid species (Lemur catta, Eulemur fulvus, E. mongoz) to validate in vivo methods of assessing fatness, and to contribute to a comprehensive database on the organization of adipose tissue in Mammalia.

White adipose tissue mitochondrial metabolism in health and in obesity
Obesity Reviews, 2019White adipose tissue is one of the largest organs of the body. It plays a key role in whole‐body energy status and metabolism; it not only stores excess energy but also secretes various hormones and metabolites to regulate body energy balance.

Sensory innervation of white adipose tissue
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1987The presumption that sensory information does not arise from white adipose tissue was reevaluated using the neuroanatomical tracer, "true blue." Fluorescent cell bodies were observed in dorsal root ganglia of rats after tracer was implanted into inguinal or dorsal subcutaneous fat depots.

Autophagy in White Adipose Tissue
2014Autophagy is a mechanism for intracellular degradation of cytoplasmic components including macromolecules and organelles. It has been shown to be involved in a large number of physiological and pathological processes. Studies have recently uncovered an important role of autophagy in the process of adipogenesis.

Explant Cultures of White Adipose Tissue
2008Obesity is characterized by increased adiposity of visceral and subcutaneous depots as well as other organs, including the vasculature. These fat depots secrete various hormone-like proteins implicated in metabolic homeostasis (e.g., adiponectin, resistin), the central control of appetite (e.g., leptin) and the increased production of cytokines.

Metabolism of White Adipose Tissue
2007Triacylglycerols (TAGs) stored in adipose tissue are by far the largest site of energy storage. Adipocytes continuously synthesize and break down these TAGs depending on the body energy status and its hormonal environment. They act as a “buffer” for plasma lipids and also for lipids stored in other tissues.
