Understanding how fat tissue forms and functions is crucial for addressing obesity and related metabolic diseases. However, adipose tissue, or body fat, behaves differently based on its location in ...

The ability of growth hormone (GH) to induce adipose tissue lipolysis has been known for over five decades; however, the molecular mechanisms that mediate this effect and the ability of GH to inhibit ...

A recent study published in the journal Nature Reviews Endocrinology summarized the challenges associated with adiposity assessment in clinical settings. Obesity increases cardiometabolic risks and ...

Accumulating knowledge on the biology and function of the adipose tissue has led to a major shift in our understanding of its role in health and disease. The adipose tissue is now recognized as a ...

Humans have three types of fat cells – white, beige and brown – that work in concert to maintain, store, and use energy. So far, the negative effects of white fat accumulation have been well studied, ...

Metabo-oncology is an emerging interdisciplinary field at the intersection of oncology, metabolism, and obesity research. Epidemiological studies have ...

This study identified important metabolic changes in adipose tissue in broiler chickens exposed to high temperatures. Higher lipoprotein lipase levels lead to higher fat accumulation, making poultry ...
