The demonstration of metabolically active brown adipose tissue (BAT) in humans primarily
using positron emission tomography coupled to computed tomography (PET/CT) with the …

A novel perspective of the function of carotenoids and carotenoid-derived products−
including, but not restricted to, the retinoids− is emerging in recent years which connects …

Obesity-associated low-grade inflammation of white adipose tissue (WAT) contributes to
development of insulin resistance and other disorders. Accumulation of immune cells …

Objective Classical ATP-independent non-shivering thermogenesis enabled by uncoupling
protein 1 (UCP1) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) is activated, but not essential for survival, in …

Disturbances in fatty acid metabolism in adipose tissue, liver, skeletal muscle, gut and
pancreas play an important role in the development of insulin resistance, impaired glucose …

Summary Type 2 diabetes (T2D) as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD) represent major
complications of obesity and associated metabolic disorders (metabolic syndrome). This …

White adipose tissue (WAT) is a complex organ with both metabolic and endocrine
functions. Dysregulation of all of these functions of WAT, together with low-grade …

Scope Ginger exerts protective effects on obesity and its complications. Our objectives here
are to identify bioactive compounds that inhibit adipogenesis and lipid accumulation in vitro …

New Findings What is the topic of this review? The review covers basic knowledge about the
role of mitochondria in the homeostatic function of adipose tissue. It also provide a …

It is now recognized that the amount and type of dietary fat consumed play an important role
in metabolic health. In humans, high intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) has been …
