This discovery not only unveils a novel mechanism by which BAT influences liver metabolism but also highlights miR-206-3p as a potential therapeutic ...

Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates 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 increased over the ...

Although obese individuals are at greater risk of diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, not all obese people ...

Results reveal that weight loss has significant effects on cellular processes that are known to affect metabolic health and ...

Hormones produced by adipose tissue regulate metabolism and insulin sensitivity. They help the body use nutrients efficiently. For example, it’s the primary producer of adiponectin.

Adipose tissue can more than double in mass and then return to baseline. This review discusses the functional roles of human white and brown adipose tissue and its excess in obesity, as well as its ...

In a prospective study of young, lean adults, PET/CT imaging revealed that higher levels of active brown adipose tissue (also known as 'brown fat') are more prevalent in individuals who exhibit ...

Women with higher levels of visceral adipose tissue are more likely to develop preeclampsia than those with less fat, according to findings from a Mendelian randomization published in The Journal ...

Adipose tissue is connective tissue primarily comprised of white and brown adipocytes (fat cells). Though previously thought of as an inert tissue, adipocytes have been shown to play varied roles ...
