Our understanding of adipose tissue biology has progressed rapidly since the turn of the
century. White adipose tissue has emerged as a key determinant of healthy metabolism and …

Improved knowledge of all aspects of adipose biology will be required to counter the
burgeoning epidemic of obesity. Interest in adipogenesis has increased markedly over the …

Brown fat can increase energy expenditure and protect against obesity through a
specialized program of uncoupled respiration. Here we show by in vivo fate mapping that …

Adipocytes have been studied with increasing intensity as a result of the emergence of
obesity as a serious public health problem and the realization that adipose tissue serves as …

The obesity epidemic is a global issue and shows no signs of abating, while the cause of
this epidemic remains unclear. Marketing practices of energy-dense foods and institutionally …

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 …

The development of obesity not only depends on the balance between food intake and
caloric utilization but also on the balance between white adipose tissue, which is the primary …

The relative balance between the quantity of white and brown adipose tissue can profoundly
affect lipid storage and whole-body energy homeostasis. However, the mechanisms …

Obesity develops when energy intake exceeds energy expenditure. Although most current
obesity therapies are focused on reducing calorific intake, recent data suggest that …

Adipose tissue metabolism is closely linked to insulin resistance, and differential fat
distributions are associated with disorders like hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular …
