Human mesenchymal stem cells are primary multipotent cells capable of differentiating into
several cell types including adipocytes when cultured under defined in vitro conditions. In …

Adipose tissue plays a pivotal role in whole body energy homeostasis. In this review, we
summarize knowledge of the seemingly paradoxical roles of insulin and cyclic adenosine …

Fish oil rich in n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids is known to attenuate diet-induced obesity and
adipose tissue inflammation in rodents. Here we aimed to investigate whether different …

Chronic low grade inflammation is closely linked to obesity-associated insulin resistance. To

Scope Omega‐6 (n‐6) PUFA‐rich diets are generally considered obesogenic in rodents.
Here, we examined how long‐term intake of a high‐fat/high‐sucrose (HF/HS) diet based on …

High protein diets have become popular for body weight maintenance and weight loss
despite controversies regarding efficacy and safety. Although both weight gain and weight …

Background and aims Maternal polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels are associated with

Increasing evidence suggests that fatty acid desaturases, rate-limiting enzymes in
unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis, are important factors in the pathogenesis of lipid …

Low-fat diets and exercise are generally assumed to ameliorate obesity-related metabolic
dysfunctions, but the importance of exercise vs. dietary changes is debated. Male C57BL/6J …

Marine n-3 long-chain PUFA (n-3 LCPUFA) may have a beneficial effect on several aspects
of the metabolic syndrome (dyslipidaemia, insulin resistance, hypertension and abdominal …
