Sex matters: The effects of biological sex on adipose tissue biology and energy metabolism
Redox Biology, 2017 Adipose tissue is a complex and multi-faceted organ. It responds dynamically to internal and external stimuli, depending on the developmental stage and activity of the organism.

An integrated single cell and spatial transcriptomic map of human white adipose tissue
Nature Communications, 2023 Single-cell studies of human white adipose tissue (WAT) provide insights into the specialized cell types in the tissue. Here the authors combine publicly available and newly generated high-resolution and bulk transcriptomic results from multiple human ...

HOXC10 suppresses browning of white adipose tissues [PDF]
Experimental & Molecular Medicine, 2017 Given that increased thermogenesis in white adipose tissue, also known as browning, promotes energy expenditure, significant efforts have been invested to determine the molecular factors involved in this process. Here we show that HOXC10, a homeobox domain-containing transcription factor expressed in subcutaneous white adipose tissue, is a suppressor ...

Chronic l-menthol-induced browning of white adipose tissue hypothesis: A putative therapeutic regime for combating obesity and improving metabolic health [PDF]
, 2016 Obesity constitutes a serious global health concern reaching pandemic prevalence rates. The existence of functional brown adipose tissue (BAT) in adult humans has provoked intense research interest in the role of this metabolically active tissue in whole-

Adipose tissue: colors, depots and functions
Ожирение и метаболизм, 2021 Obesity is a chronic disease characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue. The prevalence of obesity and associated diseases has prompted researchers to expand the study of the biology of adipose tissue.

Obesity, white adipose tissue and cancer
The FEBS JournalWhite adipose tissue (WAT) is crucial for whole‐body energy homeostasis and plays an important role in metabolic and hormonal regulation. While healthy WAT undergoes controlled expansion and contraction to meet the body's requirements, dysfunctional WAT in conditions like obesity is characterized by excessive tissue expansion, alterations in lipid ...

Ethnic differences in adiposity and diabetes risk – insights from genetic studies [PDF]
, 2020 Type 2 diabetes is more common in non-Europeans and starts at a younger age and at lower BMI cut-offs. This review discusses the insights from genetic studies about pathophysiological mechanisms which determine risk of disease with a focus on the role of

Characteristics and mechanisms of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue aging
Chinese Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive SurgeryAging is one of the most significant health challenges worldwide and is a primary cause of chronic diseases and physiological decline. Among the myriad changes that occur with aging, alterations in adipose tissue distribution and function have gained ...
