Although obese individuals are at greater risk of diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, not all obese people ...

This discovery not only unveils a novel mechanism by which BAT influences liver metabolism but also highlights miR-206-3p as ...

Adipose tissue, almost more than any other tissue, is increasingly being realized to contribute to both human well-being and disease processes. These influences are exerted through a wide array of ...

Results reveal that weight loss has significant effects on cellular processes that are known to affect metabolic health and ...

Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the ...

Defined regions of functionally active brown adipose tissue are present in adult humans, are more frequent in women than in men, and may be quantified noninvasively with the use of 18 F-FDG PET–CT.

Brown adipose tissue burns fat, but many aspects of this tissue remain unknown. In animal experiments on brown adipocytes and their activation, noninvasive observation is important for the purposes of ...

In a prospective study of young, lean adults, PET/CT imaging revealed that higher levels of active brown adipose tissue (also known as “brown fat”) are more prevalent in individuals who exhibit very ...

Adipose tissue can more than double in mass and then return to baseline. This review discusses the functional roles of human white and brown adipose tissue and its excess in obesity, as well as its ...

New research reveals that microplastics infiltrate fat tissue, driving premature aging and inflammation, heightening the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

In a prospective study of young, lean adults, PET/CT imaging revealed that higher levels of active brown adipose tissue (also known as "brown fat") are more prevalent in individuals who exhibit ...
