Adipose-specific phospholipase as regulator of adiposity [PDF]

open access: yesNutrition Reviews, 2009
A white adipose-tissue-specific intracellular phospholipase, which releases arachidonic acid from position sn-2 of phospholipids, was recently discovered and named AdPLA. When AdPLA was induced by feeding or by insulin treatment, the arachidonic acid released from phospholipids acted as a precursor for the formation of prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2 ...

Dietary determinants of changes in waist circumference adjusted for body mass index - a proxy measure of visceral adiposity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background Given the recognized health effects of visceral fat, the understanding of how diet can modulate changes in the phenotype “waist circumference for a given body mass index (WCBMI)”, a proxy measure of visceral adiposity, is deemed necessary ...

The genetics of adiposity [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2018
Genome-wide discovery efforts have identified more than 500 genetic loci associated with adiposity traits. The vast majority of these loci were found through large-scale meta-analyses for body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and in European ancestry populations.

Physical exercise in overweight to obese individuals induces metabolic- and neurotrophic-related structural brain plasticity

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Previous cross-sectional studies on body-weight-related alterations in brain structure revealed profound changes in the gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) that resemble findings obtained from individuals with advancing age. This suggests that obesity

Genome-wide association scan meta-analysis identifies three loci influencing adiposity and fat distribution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
To identify genetic loci influencing central obesity and fat distribution, we performed a meta-analysis of 16 genome-wide association studies (GWAS, N = 38,580) informative for adult waist circumference (WC) and waist–hip ratio (WHR). We selected 26 SNPs

Adiposity and Diabetes [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes Care, 2002
At a symposium titled “Adipose Tissue as a Secretory Organ” at the American Diabetes Association (ADA), San Francisco, June 2002, Jeffrey Flier (Boston, MA) discussed the effects of visceral obesity. While reviewing the differing components of the metabolic syndrome, which to large extent are driven by insulin resistance, he asked, “Where does the ...

Unraveling the directional link between adiposity and inflammation: a bidirectional mendelian randomization approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
<b>Context</b>: Associations between adiposity and circulating inflammation markers are assumed to be causal, although the direction of the relationship has not been proven. <b>Objective</b>: The aim of the study was to explore
