Fat Body—Multifunctional Insect Tissue
Insects, 2021 The biodiversity of useful organisms, e.g., insects, decreases due to many environmental factors and increasing anthropopressure. Multifunctional tissues, such as the fat body, are key elements in the proper functioning of invertebrate organisms and ...

Body fat accumulation in zebrafish is induced by a diet rich in fat and reduced by supplementation with green tea extract. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Fat-rich diets not only induce obesity in humans but also make animals obese. Therefore, animals that accumulate body fat in response to a high-fat diet (especially rodents) are commonly used in obesity research.

, 2015 The increasing levels of obesity, and its associated comorbidities, have prompted a reassessment of the techniques used for assessing body fat, including content, distribution, and composition. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) is one among the many invaluable in vivo tools available today to evaluate the role of body fat in health and disease ...

Pathways to interleukin-6 in healthy males and serious leisure male athletes: physical activity, body composition and age. [PDF]
, 2012 Physical activity (PA) is beneficial to overall health, in part due to physiological changes that lower risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including reduced inflammation. However, the mechanism by which PA reduces inflammation is unclear.

Brain insulin sensitivity is linked to adiposity and body fat distribution
Nature Communications, 2020 Brain insulin action regulates eating behavior and energy fluxes throughout the body. However, numerous people are brain insulin resistant. How brain insulin responsiveness affects long-term weight and body fat composition in humans is still unknown ...
