Background Obesity is closely related to the metabolism of triacylglycerol (TG) in adipocytes.
Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) are rate-limiting …

An emerging strategy for reducing obesity is induction of brown fat type phenotype in white

Alterations in adipogenesis could have significant impact on several aging processes. We
previously reported that calorie restriction (CR) in rats significantly increases the level of …

Classical brown adipocytes, characterized by interscapular depots, have multilocular fat
depots and are known to release excess energy. Recent studies have shown that induction …

Limonoids are phytochemicals with a variety of biological properties. In the present study,
