Adipose tissue is contemplated as a dynamic organ that plays key roles in the human body.
Adipogenesis is the process by which adipocytes develop from adipose-derived stem cells …

Obesity is characterized by increased adipose tissue mass and has been associated with a
strong predisposition towards metabolic diseases and cancer. Thus, it constitutes a public …

Adipose tissue plays an essential role in regulating energy balance through its metabolic,
cellular and endocrine functions. Adipose tissue has been historically classified into …

The manner in which white adipose tissue (WAT) expands and remodels directly impacts the
risk of developing metabolic syndrome in obesity. Preferential accumulation of visceral WAT …

Obesity and lipoatrophy are major risks for insulin resistance, non-insulin-dependent
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the past three decades, significant advances have …

Adipose tissue is formed at stereotypic times and locations in a diverse array of organisms.
Once formed, the tissue is dynamic, responding to homeostatic and external cues and …

Obesity is a growing health concern worldwide because of its contribution to metabolic
syndrome, type II diabetes, insulin resistance (IR), and numerous cancers. In obesity, white …

Adipose tissues are essential for actively regulating systemic energy balance, glucose
homeostasis, immune responses, reproduction, and longevity. Adipocytes maintain dynamic …

Adipocytes can increase in volume up to a thousand-fold, storing excess calories as
triacylglycerol in large lipid droplets. The dramatic morphological changes required of …

Over the last several years, the increasing prevalence of obesity has favored an intense
study of adipose tissue biology and the precise mechanisms involved in adipocyte …
