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 …

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 …

Adipose tissue contains many cell types. Among the more abundant are adipocytes,
preadipocytes, immune cells, and endothelial cells. During times of excess caloric intake …

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 …

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 …

Over the past decade, great progress has been made in understanding the complexity of
adipose tissue biology and its role in metabolism. This includes new insights into the …

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 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 …

The Banting Medal for Scientific Achievement is the highest scientific award of the American
Diabetes Association (ADA). Given in memory of Sir Frederick Banting, one of the key …

Adipose tissue represents a critical component in healthy energy homeostasis. It fulfills
important roles in whole‐body lipid handling, serves as the body's major energy storage …
