Early in the HIV epidemic, lipodystrophy, characterized by subcutaneous fat loss
(lipoatrophy), with or without central fat accumulation (lipohypertrophy), was recognized as a …

Obesity and lipoatrophy are major risks for insulin resistance, non-insulin-dependent
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the past three decades, significant advances have …

Both rosiglitazone and metformin increase hepatic insulin sensitivity, but their mechanism of
action has not been compared in humans. The objective of this study was to compare the …

Adipocyte differentiation is a highly controlled process that has been extensively studied for
the last 25 years. Two different kinds of in vitro experimental models, essential in …

Objective: Adiponectin mRNA expression in isolated subcutaneous and omental adipocytes
was examined across a wide range of adiposity to determine whether adiponectin synthesis …

Adipose tissue is now recognized for its major role in the control of energy metabolism and
insulin sensitivity. We review here the human lipodystrophies, that are rare conditions in …

Objectives Adipose tissue from patients with HIV-related lipodystrophy presents a state of
chronic inflammation. Altered expression of cytokines/adipokines and macrophage …

Elevated circulating fatty acid concentration is a hallmark of insulin resistance and is at least
in part attributed to the action of adipose tissue-derived tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) on …

Several studies in a variety of breeds have reported at least two QTL for milk production
traits, including milk fat synthesis on bovine chromosome 6 (BTA6), comprising a region that …

Objective To achieve a better understand of the pathophysiology of HIV-related lipoatrophy,
we compared the mRNA expression of adipocytokines in fat samples from patients and …
