Roles of FGFs as adipokines in adipose tissue development, remodeling, and metabolism
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014 White and brown adipose tissues, which store and burn lipids, respectively, play critical roles in energy homeostasis. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are signaling proteins with diverse functions in development, metabolism, and neural function. Among

Polyunsaturated fatty acids stimulate de novo lipogenesis and improve glucose homeostasis during refeeding with high fat diet [PDF]
, 2017 The recovery of body weight after a period of caloric restriction is accompanied by an enhanced efficiency of fat deposition and hyperinsulinemia—which are exacerbated by isocaloric refeeding on a high fat diet rich in saturated and monounsaturated ...

Lipolysis and lipases in white adipose tissue – An update [PDF]
Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015 Lipolysis is defined as the sequential hydrolysis of triacylglycerol (TAG) stored in cell lipid droplets. For many years, it was believed that hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) and monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL) were the main enzymes catalyzing lipolysis in the white adipose tissue.
