Emerging evidence suggests a significant functional role of adipose tissue in maintaining
whole-body metabolic health. It is well established that obesity leads to compositional and …

Adipose tissue is critical to whole-body energy metabolism and has become recognized as
a bona fide endocrine organ rather than an inert lipid reservoir. As such, adipose tissue is …

Obesity, accumulation of adipose tissue, develops when energy intake exceeds energy
expenditure. Adipose tissue is essential for buffering the differences between energy intake …

Although the hallmark of obesity is the expansion of adipose tissue, not all adipose tissue
expansion is the same. Expansion of healthy adipose tissue is accompanied by adequate …

Increased physical activity is an optimal way to maintain a good health. During exercise,
triacylglycerols, an energy reservoir in adipose tissue, are hydrolyzed to free fatty acids …

In this review, we provide a brief synopsis of the connections between adipose tissue and
metabolic health and highlight some recent developments in understanding and exploiting …

Obesity has reached global epidemic proportions and is threatening the economic
sustainability of the health care system of many countries worldwide. This is related largely …

Positive calorie balance disrupts the function of visceral adipose tissue, including the
cardiac adipose tissue and the perivascular adipose tissue. The inflammatory and hormonal …

Exercise induces various beneficial whole-body adaptations and can delay the onset of
obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. While many of the beneficial effects of …

Exercise training results in adaptations to numerous organ systems and offers protection
against metabolic disorders including obesity and type 2 diabetes, and recent reports …
