A special kind of body fat known as brown fat, or brown adipose tissue, may actually burn calories. This guide will tell you everything you need to know about what brown fat is, what it does, and ...

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

Adipose tissue has the potential to dramatically expand from 3% to 60-70% of the body weight in response to positive energy balances. It can be hypertrophic or hyperplastic in nature.

However, the 3D bioprinting conditions have not been optimized for adipose tissues. Now, researchers from Korea have developed a novel method for 3D adipose tissue bioprinting using a hybrid bioink.

Omega-3 fatty acids are able to stimulate the activation of brown and beige adipose tissues, a discovery that would promote the development of new therapies for obesity and other metabolism ...

People with brown adipose tissue are better at regulating their body temperature in the winter, and are less likely to suffer from excess weight or diabetes. An international team of researchers led ...

Inflammatory factors released by adipose tissue in COVID-19 patients may be the cause of damage to the heart, lungs, and nervous system described in such patients, she added.

Traditionally, the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue has been considered one of the factors most strongly related to cardiometabolic risk and chronic (low-grade) inflammation in humans.

The researchers conclude that in individuals who are living with obesity, adipose tissue insulin resistance is more severe in men than in women, which may partly explain why T2D is more common in men.
