Anatomy of the Epicardial Adipose Tissue
, 2020 Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is the fat depot located between the myocardium and the epicardium including the surroundings of the epicardial coronary vessels while the pericardial fat is located externally.

Imaging White Adipose Tissue with Confocal Microscopy [PDF]
, 2014 Adipose tissue is composed of a variety of cell types that include mature adipocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, adipocyte progenitors, and a range of inflammatory leukocytes. These cells work in concert to promote nutrient storage in adipose tissue depots and vary widely based on location. In addition, overnutrition and obesity impart significant

Signals from adipose tissue in morbid obesity and effect on depot specific differences [PDF]
, 2009 Signals from adipose tissue, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6) and asymmetric dimethyl arginine (ADMA), an endogenous nitric oxide inhibitor, explain the link between obesity and metabolic diseases.

The transcription factor Prep1 regulates adipose tissue functions [PDF]
, 2014 2012 - 2013Adipose tissue is crucial for maintaining energy and metabolic homeostasis and its functionality is closely related to the adipocytes differentiation state. Adipogenesis is regulated by several transcription factors.

Mitochondrial function/dysfunction in white adipose tissue
Experimental Physiology, 2014 New Findings What is the topic of this review?The review covers basic knowledge about the role of mitochondria in the homeostatic function of adipose tissue. It also provide a comprehensive analysis of how mitochondrial function is affected during obesity and lipoatrophies and discuss the results of recent studies that targeted mitochondrial function ...

Leptin, Adiponectin, and Other Adipokines in Regulation of Adipose Tissue Angiogenesis
, 2013 Adipose tissue plays an important endocrine role through the production of secreted factors, termed adipokines. These include hormones such as leptin, adiponectin, resistin, omentin, apelin, and vaspin; classical cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α,
