Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent cells, functioning as precursors to a variety
of cell types including adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. Between osteogenic and …

In adipocytes the hydrolysis of TAG to produce fatty acids and glycerol under fasting
conditions or times of elevated energy demands is tightly regulated by neuroendocrine …

Adipose tissue plays a significant role in whole body energy homeostasis. Obesity‐
associated diabetes, fatty liver and metabolic syndrome are closely linked to adipose stress …

Visceral obesity is the excess deposition of visceral fat within the abdominal cavity that
surrounds vital organs. Visceral obesity is directly associated with metabolic syndrome …

Background: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a continuous diseases spectrum
associated with obesity, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia. Simple …

The mechanism controlling long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) mobilization from adipose tissue is
not well understood. Here, we investigated how the LCFA transporter CD36 regulates this …

Adipose morphology is defined as the number and size distribution of adipocytes (fat cells)
within adipose tissue. Adipose tissue with fewer but larger adipocytes is said to have a …

CD36 is a multiligand receptor contributing to glucose and lipid metabolism, immune
response, inflammation, thrombosis, and fibrosis. A wide range of tissue expression includes …

Imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide widely used in agriculture worldwide, has been
reported to promote adipogenesis and cause insulin resistance in vitro. The purpose of the …

White adipose tissue (WAT) expands in part through adipogenesis, a process involving fat
cell generation and fatty acid (FA) storage into triglycerides (TGs). Several findings suggest …
