Plasma proteomics reveals that the biological ages of key organs, especially the brain and immune system, strongly predict ...
Researchers have mapped human fat tissue at single-cell resolution, uncovering how obesity alters cellular stress, ...
Some mammals are capable of hibernating during periods of low food availability in an effort to conserve energy and survive.
Obesity is causally linked with the development of cardiovascular disorders. Accumulating evidence indicates that cardiovascular disease is the collateral damage of obesity-driven adipose tissue ...
Fucoxanthin is a marine carotenoid found in edible brown seaweeds. We previously reported that dietary fucoxanthin attenuates the weight gain of white adipose tissue (WAT) of diabetic/obese KK-Ay mice ...
Background:In obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), adipose tissue expansion (because of larger adipocytes) results in reduced microvascular density which is thought to lead to adipocyte hypoxia ...
ABSTRACT Consumption of a diet high in fat during the critical developmental period may alter the structure and expression of inflammatory genes in mesenteric adipose tissue (MAT). Aim: To investigate ...
Adipose tissue is generally categorized into two types with opposing functions: lipid-storing white adipose tissue (WAT) and lipid-burning brown adipose tissue (BAT). The latter tissue can dissipate ...
In the lean, healthy state, adipose tissue (AT) has critical roles in maintaining organismal homeostasis. Paramount among the various roles of AT is the regulation of whole body metabolism. While ...
Longo, M., Zatterale, F., Naderi, J., Parrillo, L., Formisano, P., Raciti, G.A., et al. (2019) Adipose Tissue Dysfunction as Determinant of Obesity-Associated ...
Growing evidence suggests a critical role for overnutrition in the development of low-grade inflammation. Specifically, chronic inflammation in adipose tissue is considered a crucial risk factor for ...
