Adipose tissues have a central role in energy homeostasis, as they secrete adipokines and
regulate energy storage and dissipation. Novel adipokines from white, brown and beige …

In 2014, numerous noteworthy papers focusing on adipose tissue physiology were
published. Many of these articles showed the promise of adipose-tissue-targeted …

In addition to their role in glucose and lipid metabolism, adipocytes respond differentially to
physiological cues or metabolic stress by releasing endocrine factors that regulate diverse …

Adipose tissue, when carried around in excessive amounts, predisposes to a large number
of diseases. Epidemiological data show that the prevalence of obesity has significantly …

Adipose tissue remains a cryptic organ. The ubiquitous presence of adipocytes, the different
fat pads in distinct anatomical locations, the many different types of fat, in each case with …

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 …

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 …

Like the obesity epidemic, our understanding of adipocytes and adipose tissue is
expanding. Just in the past decade, substantial advances have led to new insights into the …

There has been an upsurge of interest in the adipocyte coincident with the onset of the
obesity epidemic and the realization that adipose tissue plays a major role in the regulation …

Adipose tissue is a complex endocrine organ with an intricate role in whole body
homeostasis. Beyond storing energy, adipose tissue is fundamental in numerous processes …
