Adipocyte lipid synthesis coupled to neuronal control of thermogenic programming [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The de novo biosynthesis of fatty acids (DNL) through fatty acid synthase (FASN) in adipocytes is exquisitely regulated by nutrients, hormones, fasting, and obesity in mice and humans. However, the functions of DNL in adipocyte biology and in

Fate of Adipose Progenitor Cells in Obesity-Related Chronic Inflammation [PDF]

, 2020
Adipose progenitor cells, or preadipocytes, constitute a small population of immature cells within the adipose tissue. They are a heterogeneous group of cells, in which different subtypes have a varying degree of commitment toward diverse cell fates ...

New concepts in white adipose tissue physiology [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2014
Numerous studies address the physiology of adipose tissue (AT). The interest surrounding the physiology of AT is primarily the result of the epidemic outburst of obesity in various contemporary societies. Briefly, the two primary metabolic activities of white AT include lipogenesis and lipolysis.

Circadian control of white and brown adipose tissues

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2023
White and brown adipose tissues are highly dynamic organs anticipating and responding to changes in the environment. The circadian timing system facilitates anticipation, and it is therefore not surprising that circadian disturbances, a prominent feature of modern 24/7 society, increase the risk for (cardio)metabolic diseases.

Effects of Different Fasting Modes Combined with Exercise Training on Browning of White Adipose Tissue in Mice [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
To investigate the effect of intermittent fasting (IF) combined with exercise on browning of white adipose tissue (WAT), we randomly divided male C57BL/6 mice aged 5–6 weeks into six groups: control (Con), exercise (Ex), alternate-day fasting (ADF ...

Preventing White Adipocyte Browning during Differentiation In Vitro : The Effect of Differentiation Protocols on Metabolic and Mitochondrial Phenotypes [PDF]

, 2022
Mitochondrial dysfunction in white adipose tissue is strongly associated with obesity and its metabolic complications, which are important health challenges worldwide.

The adipose tissue: something more than a reservoir of energy

Grasas y Aceites, 2009
Adipose tissue is a reservoir of energy and also an organ that contributes to the aesthetics and health of human body working as an endocrine tissue. White adipose tissue, which is formed by unilocular adipose cells, can modify organic homeostasis by ...

Brown and beige adipose tissue: a novel therapeutic strategy for obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus

Adipocyte, 2021
Mammalian adipose tissue can be divided into two major types, namely, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). According to classical view, the main function of WAT is to store excess energy in the form of triglycerides, while BAT is a ...

Otopetrin 1 protects mice from obesity-associated metabolic dysfunction through attenuating adipose tissue inflammation. [PDF]

, 2014
Chronic low-grade inflammation is emerging as a pathogenic link between obesity and metabolic disease. Persistent immune activation in white adipose tissue (WAT) impairs insulin sensitivity and systemic metabolism, in part, through the actions of ...

NPC1 in human white adipose tissue and obesity [PDF]

BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2013
Abstract Background Genetic studies have implicated the NPC1 gene (Niemann Pick type C1) in susceptibility to obesity. Methods To assess the potential function of NPC1 in obesity, we determined its expression in abdominal white adipose tissue (WAT) in relation to obesity ...
