Preprint: Using genetics to uncouple higher adiposity from its adverse metabolic effects and understand its role in metabolic and non-metabolic disease

, 2021
To understand the consequences of higher adiposity uncoupled from its adverse metabolic effects, we selected 37 diseases associated with obesity and genetic variants associated with different aspects of excess weight including metabolically “favourable ...

From energy provision to protein synthesis: Tunnelling nanotubes as mediators of intercellular metabolic cooperation in cancer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The cytoskeleton‐mediated transport of mitochondria via tunnelling nanotubes restores respiration, increases ATP production, rescues cells from apoptosis, activates the AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, promotes cell migration and invasiveness, contributes to cancer progression and treatment resistance.

Beta-carotene Reduces Body Adiposity of Mice Via BCMO1 [PDF]

, 2011
Evidence from cell culture studies indicates that ß-carotene-(BC)-derived apocarotenoid signaling molecules can modulate the activities of nuclear receptors that regulate many aspects of adipocyte physiology.

Assessment of body composition in breast cancer patients: concordance between transverse computed tomography analysis at the fourth thoracic and third lumbar vertebrae

Frontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionSpecific body composition markers derived from L3 axial computed tomography (CT) images predict clinical cancer outcomes, including chemotherapy toxicity and survival. However, this method is only applicable to those undergoing lumbar (L3) CT

Cellularity of porcine adipose tissue: effects of growth and adiposity

Journal of Lipid Research, 1977
Adipose tissue, from two depots in pigs of three breeding groups with different propensities to fatten, was characterized in terms of weight of the adipose tissue organ, adipose cell number, and mean cell volume as determined by electronic counting of adipose cells fixed with osmium tetroxide.

Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.
