The formation of adipocytes during embryogenesis has been largely understudied.
However, preadipocytes appear to originate from multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem …

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 …

Increasing energy expenditure through activation of endogenous brown adipose tissue
(BAT) is a potential approach to treat obesity and diabetes. The class of β3-adrenergic …

Adipose tissue plays an important role in systemic metabolism via the secretion of
adipocytokines and storing and releasing energy. In obesity, adipose tissue becomes …

Mammalian adipose tissue is traditionally categorized into white and brown relating to their
function and morphology: while white serves as an energy storage, brown adipose tissue …

Obesity symbolizes a major public health problem. Overweight and obesity are associated to
the occurrence of the metabolic syndrome and to adipose tissue dysfunction. The adipose …

Recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) has emerged as a potential tool to combat
obesity and associated metabolic complications. Short-term cold acclimation has been …

Obesity is one of the main risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is closely related
to metabolic disturbances in the adipose tissue that primarily functions as a fat reservoir. For …

This review focuses on the contribution of white, brown, and perivascular adipose tissues to
the pathophysiology of obesity and its associated metabolic and vascular complications …

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as the co‐occurrence of metabolic risk factors that
includes insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance, type 2 diabetes …
