predominantly as a fuel reservoir that provides muscle and other tissues with NEFA when …

Skeletal muscle is the largest tissue responsible for the insulin-stimulated disposal of
glucose. However, identifying the link between excess body fat and impaired insulin …

Adipose tissue not only functions as a reserve to store energy but has become of major
interest as an endocrine organ, releasing signalling molecules termed adipokines which …

Several adipose‐derived cytokines (adipokines) have been suggested to act as a link

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 …

Recent scientific efforts have focused on the detrimental effects that obesity has on the
metabolic function of skeletal muscles and whether exercise can improve this dysfunction. In …

Since the discovery of leptin, the adipocyte and its products have been the subject of
