White adipose tissue and skeletal muscle are the largest organs in the body and both are
composed of distinct cell types. The signature cell of adipose tissue is the adipocyte while …

From the perspective of a muscle physiologist, adipose tissue has long been perceived
predominantly as a fuel reservoir that provides muscle and other tissues with NEFA when …

Skeletal muscle and adipose tissue are the two largest organs in the body. Skeletal muscle
is an effector organ, and adipose tissue is an organ that stores energy; in addition, they are …

Obesity is characterized by an expanded adipose tissue mass. Recent data suggest that
adipose tissue is a multi-functional organ rather than simply a passive storage site for …

Adipose tissue contains many cell types. Among the more abundant are adipocytes,
preadipocytes, immune cells, and endothelial cells. During times of excess caloric intake …

Adipose tissue is an active endocrine organ producing a variety of cytokines and
chemokines, which may be involved in the deregulation of glucose and lipid homeostasis as …

Skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue are the largest organs in the human body and
both tissues act as endocrine organs capable of secreting many bioactive molecules. There …

This review summarizes the current literature regarding the most discussed contraction‐
regulated moykines like IL‐6, IL‐15, irisin, BDNF, ANGPTL4, FGF21, myonectin and MCP‐1 …

Since the discovery of leptin, the adipocyte and its products have been the subject of
intensive research. Thus, it has been demonstrated that adipose tissue plays a central role …

Adipose tissue evolved to efficiently store energy for times of caloric restriction. The large
caloric excess common in many Western diets has negated the need for this thrifty function …
