Aging biomarkers are a combination of biological parameters to (i) assess age-related
changes,(ii) track the physiological aging process, and (iii) predict the transition into a …

Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and T2D-associated comorbidities, such as obesity, are
serious universally prevalent health issues among post-menopausal women. Menopause is …

Abstract Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the region with the highest projected rates of increase
in type 2 diabetes (129% by 2045), which will exacerbate the already high prevalence of …

We assessed differences in mitochondrial function in gluteal (gSAT) and abdominal
subcutaneous adipose tissue (aSAT) at baseline and in response to 12-weeks of exercise …

Adipose tissue distribution in the human body is highly heterogeneous, and the relative
mass of different depots is differentially associated with metabolic disease risk. Distinct …

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is higher in black Africans than their European

Aims To determine the waist circumference (WC) thresholds for the prediction of incident
dysglycaemia and type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Black South African (SA) men and women and to …

Aims Despite a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity in Black South African women
compared to men, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) does not differ. We explored if …

Background With aging, white adipose tissue (WAT) undergoes distribution change and
browning inhibition, which could be attenuated by exercise. Adipokine chemerin exerts roles …

Objective To explore depot-specific functional aspects of adipose tissue, examining the
