Transcriptional fingerprinting of "browning" white fat identifies NRG4 as a novel adipokine [PDF]
, 2014 Brown adipocytes help to maintain body temperature by the expression of a unique set of genes that facilitate cellular metabolic events including uncoupling protein 1-dependent thermogenesis.

Blood Vessels in White and Brown Adipose Tissues
, 2013 The adipose tissue is composed of two major subtypes, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). While WAT mainly stores excess energy in, BAT plays a role in burning energy and generating heat in a process known as non-shivering ...

The role of endoplasmic reticulum in human adipose tissue [PDF]
Adipose tissue plays a central role in the regulation of metabolic homeostasis. In obesity adipocytes are challenged by many insults: surplus energy, inflammation, insulin resistance and considerable endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress.

Distribution of adipose tissue in the newborn
, 2004 Regional differences in adipose tissue distribution are associated with differences in adipocyte metabolism and obesity-related morbidities. Intrauterine growth restriction appears to place individuals at greater risk of obesity associated morbidities in

Adipose tissue : Critical contributor to the development of prostate cancer [PDF]
, 2018 The prostate is surrounded by periprostatic adipose tissue. Although adipose tissue was thought to play limited physiological roles, it has recently been recognized as an active endocrine organ, secreting growth factors and adipokines. Epidemiologically,

Characterizing adipocytokine-related signatures for prognosis prediction in prostate cancer
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyBackgroundProstate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignant tumor in males, with a significant incidence of biochemical recurrence (BCR) despite advancements in treatment. Adipose tissue surrounding the prostate, known as periprostatic adipose tissue (PPAT),

Role of Periprostatic Adipose Tissue in Prostate Cancer Cells
, 2014 Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is a leading men's health concern. It is the most common cancer diagnosed in American men. Obesity, especially excess visceral adipose tissue, increases the risk of PCa progression; however, the mechanism is yet unknown.

Adipose tissue derived factors in obesity, inflammation & energy homeostasis [PDF]
Obesity is the foremost contributory factor in the progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Moreover, chronic inflammation, through activation of innate immunity is proposed to link obesity, insulin resistance and T2DM.
