Obesity, Bioactive Lipids, and Adipose Tissue Inflammation in Insulin Resistance
Nutrients, 2020 Obesity is a major risk factor for the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The exact mechanism by which adipose tissue induces insulin resistance is still unclear.

Adipose tissue aging is regulated by an altered immune system
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Adipose tissue is a widely distributed organ that plays a critical role in age-related physiological dysfunctions as an important source of chronic sterile low-grade inflammation. Adipose tissue undergoes diverse changes during aging, including fat depot

Human immunodeficiency virus treatment-induced adipose tissue pathology and lipoatrophy: Prevalence and metabolic consequences [PDF]
, 2010 Lipoatrophy and metabolic complications of treatment of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection may share common associations with adipose tissue pathology and inflammation.

In preeclampsia, maternal third trimester subcutaneous adipocyte lipolysis is more resistant to suppression by insulin than in healthy pregnancy [PDF]
, 2014 Obesity increases preeclampsia risk, and maternal dyslipidemia may result from exaggerated adipocyte lipolysis. We compared adipocyte function in preeclampsia with healthy pregnancy to establish whether there is increased lipolysis.

Macrophage VLDLR mediates obesity-induced insulin resistance with adipose tissue inflammation
Nature Communications, 2017 VLDLR regulates cellular lipoprotein uptake and storage. Here, the authors show that VLDLR, expressed on adipose tissue macrophages, is upregulated in obesity and promotes adipose tissue inflammation by upregulating ceramide production and facilitating ...

Lipotoxicity, aging, and muscle contractility: does fiber type matter? [PDF]
, 2019 Sarcopenia is a universal characteristic of the aging process and is often accompanied by increases in whole-body adiposity. These changes in body composition have important clinical implications, given that loss of muscle and gain of fat mass are both ...

Role of AMP-activated protein kinase in adipose tissue metabolism and inflammation [PDF]
, 2013 AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is a key regulator of cellular and whole-body energy balance. AMPK phosphorylates and regulates many proteins concerned with nutrient metabolism, largely acting to suppress anabolic ATP-consuming pathways while ...

Insulin mediated upregulation of the renin angiotensin system in human subcutaneous adipocytes is reduced by Rosiglitazone [PDF]
, 2005 Background: Obesity associated hypertension is likely to be due to multiple mechanisms. Identification of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) within adipose tissue does, however, suggest a potential causal role for it in obesity-associated hypertension ...

Perivascular Adipose Tissue [PDF]
, 2019 Contractility of small arteries determines systemic blood pressure, so the microvasculature is often invoked as a therapeutic target for hypertension and its consequences. This is especially the case for obesity-related hypertension which is characterized by small artery dysfunction.
