Context: Large fat cell size is linked to type 2 diabetes risk and may involve an enhanced
rate of adipocyte lipolysis causing elevated levels of fatty acids. Objective: Our objective was …

Aim/hypothesis Regional differences in lipolysis, with higher lipolytic activity in visceral than
subcutaneous fat, are important for the development of insulin resistance and might be …

Aims/hypothesis Enlarged fat cells from obese subjects are characterised by insulin
resistance and abnormal adrenergic regulation of lipolysis. The aim of the present study was …

The purpose of this investigation was to explore interactions between adrenergic
stimulation, glucocorticoids, and insulin on the lipolytic rate in isolated human adipocytes …

The influence of obesity on the lipolytic capacity of isolated sc fat cells was studied
prospectively in 13 women and 10 men, all obese, but otherwise healthy, before and 2 and 3 …

Objective—Fatty acids released via fat cell lipolysis can affect circulating lipid levels.
However, the contribution of different lipolysis measures in adipose tissue is unknown and …

Objective: Abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) occurs in two depots separated by
a fascial plane: deep SAT and superficial SAT. In a recent study it was demonstrated that the …

Visceral fat accumulation relates to cardiovascular risk factors, but the underlying
mechanisms are not well understood. We investigated the role of visceral adipocyte …

Catecholamine-induced lipolysis was investigated in 32 obese subjects (14 men and 18
premenopausal women), aged 36–50 years, whose body mass index ranged from 30 to 42 …

Release of fatty acids (FAs) from adipose tissue through lipolysis in fat cells is a key event in
many processes. FAs are not only energy substrates but also signalling molecules and …
