Obesity is a global health concern closely linked to a range of metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and ...

Prof. Shan Tizhong's team at Zhejiang University discovered that lard derived from subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), as a ...

Adipose tissue comes in three colors: white, brown and beige. While white fat specializes in storing lipid and expands during obesity, brown fat is thermogenic, turning energy into heat. Beige fat is ...

This 5-HT, in turn, promotes adipogenesis within white adipose tissue. Consequently, the loss of CD44 disrupts this pathway, repressing adipogenesis and thereby protecting mice from high-fat diet ...

The adipose tissue, which serves as an endocrine organ, releases various molecules that regulate the repair of other damaged tissues, including the skin. Hence, adipose tissues can potentially be ...

The in vivo localization studies presented here show that CKGGRAKDC targets the white adipose vasculature without a detectable preference for any particular anatomical white fat depot. The uptake ...

Recently, another type of cells called brown-in-white (BRITE) or beige cells, in white adipose tissue (WAT) have been found.3 BRITE cells possess a multilocular morphology, enriched mitochondria and ...

In the current study, the effect protecting against obesity was attributed to suppressed adipogenesis (fat cell formation) in white adipose tissue, the most common type of body fat. Unlike GLP-1 ...
