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

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.

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 ...

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.

Body fat, or adipose tissue, is a complex organ. It contains fat cells, nerves, immune cells, and connective tissue. Its main job is to store and release energy, ...

Adipose tissue glucose transport and GLUT4 levels regulate systemic insulin sensitivity and whole-body energy balance, which have implications for the pathogenesis and treatment of obesity and diab ...

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.
