Absence of cysteine in mice coaxed fat-storing cells to burn energy, causing weight loss and offering potential therapeutic ...

Results reveal that weight loss has significant effects on cellular processes that are known to affect metabolic health and ...

In medically indicated weight loss, attention is typically focused on the associated health benefits. However, recent research findings suggest that recovery from obesity-induced systemic inflammation ...

Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body.

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions worldwide, posing a significant burden on people’s health and on healthcare systems. It is a major risk factor for ...

However, the 3D bioprinting conditions have not been optimized for adipose tissues. Now, researchers from Korea have developed a novel method for 3D adipose tissue bioprinting using a hybrid bioink.

A long-term high-fat diet induces differential gene expression changes in spatially distinct adipose tissue of male mice. Physiological Genomics , 2024; 56 (12): 819 DOI: 10.1152/physiolgenomics ...

Obese adipose tissue contains a unique histological structure termed crown-like structure (CLS), where adipocyte-macrophage crosstalk is known to occur in close proximity. Here we show that Macrophage ...

Women with higher levels of visceral adipose tissue are more likely to develop preeclampsia than those with less fat, according to findings from a Mendelian randomization published in The Journal ...

The researchers conclude that in individuals who are living with obesity, adipose tissue insulin resistance is more severe in men than in women, which may partly explain why T2D is more common in men.
