Adipocytes have been studied with increasing intensity as a result of the emergence of
obesity as a serious public health problem and the realization that adipose tissue serves as …

Obesity is increasing in an epidemic manner in most countries and constitutes a public
health problem by enhancing the risk for cardiovascular disease and metabolic disorders …

Our understanding of adipose tissue biology has progressed rapidly since the turn of the
century. White adipose tissue has emerged as a key determinant of healthy metabolism and …

The article discusses the characteristic of fat cells and its role on obesity and diabetes. It was
noted that fat cells are capable to stop making health molecules such as adiponectin. An …

White adipose tissue, once regarded as morphologically and functionally bland, is now
recognized to be dynamic, plastic and heterogenous, and is involved in a wide array of …

Adipocyte development and differentiation have an important role in the aetiology of obesity
and its co-morbidities,. Although multiple studies have investigated the adipogenic stem and …

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 mass is determined by the storage and removal of triglycerides in adipocytes.
Little is known, however, about adipose lipid turnover in humans in health and pathology. To …

White adipose tissue displays high plasticity. We developed a system for the inducible,
permanent labeling of mature adipocytes that we called the AdipoChaser mouse. We …

Adiponectin secreted from adipocytes binds to adiponectin receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2,
and exerts antidiabetic effects via activation of AMPK and PPAR-α pathways, respectively …
