Adipose tissue exist in two different forms which can be distinguished with the free eye by their color: white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. Both have a highly differing fine structure. Furthermore, their location differs significantly. White adipose tissue is found in the subcutaneous tissue where it exists mainly as single adipocytes or in

Hexokinase of white adipose tissue
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Specialized Section on Enzymological Subjects, 1963Abstract Apparent Michaelis constants for glucose and fructose of white adipose tissue hexokinase have been estimated by determining the rate of hexose C-1 oxidation through the hexose monophosphate shunt with added glucose-6- P dehydrogenase and NADP + . The values obtained are: fructose, 3 mM; glucose, 0.07 mM.

Circadian rhythms in white adipose tissue
2012Adipose tissue is an important endocrine organ. It is involved in the regulation of energy metabolism by secreting factors (adipokines) that regulate appetite, food intake, glucose disposal, and energy expenditure. Many of these adipokines display profound day/night rhythms, and accumulating evidence links disruption of these rhythms to metabolic ...

White adipose tissue and cardiovascular disease
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2005Adipocytes have recently been shown to secrete a variety of bioactive substances called 'adipocytokines', and have been recognized as endocrine cells. Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alphaalpha, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and heparin-binding epidermal-growth-factor-like growth factor (HBEGF) are among these adipocytokines, and they ...

Explant Cultures of White Adipose Tissue
2008Obesity is characterized by increased adiposity of visceral and subcutaneous depots as well as other organs, including the vasculature. These fat depots secrete various hormone-like proteins implicated in metabolic homeostasis (e.g., adiponectin, resistin), the central control of appetite (e.g., leptin) and the increased production of cytokines.

Sandwiched White Adipose Tissue: A Microphysiological System of Primary Human Adipose Tissue
Tissue Engineering Part C: Methods, 2018White adipose tissue (WAT) is a critical organ in both health and disease. However, physiologically faithful tissue culture models of primary human WAT remain limited, at best. In this study we describe a novel WAT culture system in which primary human WAT is sandwiched between tissue-engineered sheets of adipose-derived stromal cells.

Maintenance of white adipose tissue in man
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2014Obesity is increasing in an epidemic manner in most countries and constitutes a public health problem by enhancing the risk for diseases such as diabetes, fatty liver disease and atherosclerosis. Together these diseases form a cluster referred to as the metabolic syndrome.

Organ culture of rat white adipose tissue
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1972Abstract 1. 1. Intact rat epididymal fat pads were incubated for up to 6 days in Trowell's medium with 20% fetal calf serum. Fat pad DNA content fell by 30% after 6 days of incubation. The lipid content of the incubated fat pads increased by 11% after 3 days of incubation and then remained constant.

Organization of white adipose tissue in lemuridae
American Journal of Primatology, 1995AbstractThe gross anatomy of white adipose tissue was studied in seven carcasses representing three lemurid species (Lemur catta, Eulemur fulvus, E. mongoz) to validate in vivo methods of assessing fatness, and to contribute to a comprehensive database on the organization of adipose tissue in Mammalia.

Human White Adipose Tissue Metabolome: Current Perspective
Obesity, 2018ObjectiveInterest in metabolites produced by adipose tissue has increased substantially in the past several decades. Previously regarded as an inert energy storage depot, adipose tissue is now viewed as a complex metabolically active organ with considerable impact on human health.
