Adipose tissue plays essential roles in maintaining lipid and glucose homeostasis. To date
several types of adipose tissue have been identified, namely white, brown, and beige, that …

Regular physical activity and exercise training have long been known to cause adaptations
to white adipose tissue (WAT), including decreases in cell size and lipid content and …

Whole body exercise tolerance is the consummate example of integrative physiological
function among the metabolic, neuromuscular, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems …

Background & Aims: Obesity increases the risk of colon cancer, whereas physical activity
reduces the risk. Plasma levels of leptin increase in proportion to the level of obesity and are …

The beneficial effects of exercise on skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system have
long been known. Recent studies have focused on investigating the effects of exercise on …

Physical exercise leads to beneficial effects in numerous tissues and organ systems and
offers protection against obesity and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies have investigated the …

Patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) often show normal to elevated physical activity levels
despite severe weight loss and emaciation. This is seemingly in contrast to the loss of …

Semi-starvation induced hyperactivity (SIH) occurs in rodents upon caloric restriction. We
hypothesized that SIH is triggered by the decline in leptin secretion associated with food …

Exercise training results in adaptations to both skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue
(WAT) and protects against metabolic disorders including obesity and type 2 diabetes …

Background The dopamine D 2 receptor (D 2 R) has received much attention in obesity
studies. Data indicate that D 2 R is reduced in obesity and that the TaqA1 D 2 R variant may …
