Role of adipose tissue grafting and adipose-derived stem cells in peripheral nerve surgery
The application of autologous fat grafting in reconstructive surgery is commonly used to improve functional form. This review aims to provide an overview of the scientific evidence on the biology of adipose tissue, the role of adipose-derived stem cells,

Adipose Tissue and Atherothrombosis [PDF]
Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity mainly through insulin resistance. Dysregulation of protein secretion by adipose tissue is involved in obesity-related diseases. Adipose tissue contributes to create a subinflammatory status which could explain the disturbances in the haemostatic and fibrinolytic systems ...

The prevalence of obesity has doubled, with a concomitant increase in cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to compare the characteristics of visceral, subcutaneous and peri-aortic adipose tissue determined with computed tomography (CT) scans and to ...

Differential Tissue Response to Growth Hormone in Mice [PDF]
Growth hormone (GH) has been shown to act directly on multiple tissues throughout the body. Historically, it was believed that GH acted directly in the liver and only indirectly in other tissues via insulin‐like growth hormone 1 (IGF‐1).

Autophagy in Adipose Tissue [PDF]
The possible involvement of the evolutionarily conserved process of autophagy (selfeating) in the pathogenesis of human diseases has been increasingly appreciated in recent years. However, at present, many fundamental questions remain to be answered before autophagy can be considered as a therapeutic target: The biological consequences of activating or

Development of NASH in Obese Mice is Confounded by Adipose Tissue Increase in Inflammatory NOV and Oxidative Stress [PDF]
Aim. Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is the consequence of insulin resistance, fatty acid accumulation, oxidative stress, and lipotoxicity.We hypothesize that an increase in the inflammatory adipokine NOV decreases antioxidant Heme Oxygenase 1 (HO- 1)

Adipose tissue and liver [PDF]
Adipose tissue and liver are central tissues in whole body energy metabolism. Their composition, structure, and function can be noninvasively imaged using a variety of measurement techniques that provide a safe alternative to an invasive biopsy. Imaging of adipose tissue is focused on quantitating the distribution of adipose tissue in subcutaneous and

Background & aim: Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disease of the large intestine that cannot be treated, but its symptoms can be controlled. In traditional medicine, for the basic treatment of colitis, it is necessary to first prevent this abnormal

Perivascular adipose tissue as a relevant fat depot for cardiovascular risk in obesity [PDF]
Obesity is associated with increased risk of premature death, morbidity, and mortality from several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure.

Perivascular Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Key Concepts:- While traditionally viewed as little more than a simple lipid reserve, perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) boasts an extensive biological arsenal which when mobilized can modulate vascular function.- PVAT dysfunction in disease is associated with alteration to its secretory profile which can create a contractile and pro-inflammatory ...
