Adipose-Tissue and Intestinal Inflammation – Visceral Obesity and Creeping Fat
Obesity has become one of the main threats to health worldwide and therefore gained increasing clinical and economic significance as well as scientific attention. General adipose-tissue accumulation in obesity is associated with systemically increased pro-inflammatory mediators and humoral and cellular changes within this compartment. These adipose-tissue changes and their systemic consequences...
متن کاملWhy do people get fat: is adipose tissue guilty?
The prevalence of obesity within the UK is increasing. Comparable surveys conducted in 1980 and 1986/7 (Knight, 1983; Gregory el al. 1990) showed that, even in the more health-conscious 1980s, the proportion of men and women with body mass indices (BMI) greater than 30 rose from 6 to 8% (men) and from 8 to 12% (women). Interest in the question ‘Why do people get fat?’ is, therefore, as great as...
متن کاملAdipose tissue inflammation and ectopic fat accumulation
Obesity may be viewed as a state of chronic, low-grade inflammation, which plays an important role in the development of the metabolic syndrome. Indeed, unbalanced production of proand anti-inflammatory adipocytokines seen in visceral fat obesity plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of the metabolic syndrome. Recent evidence has revealed that adipose tissue macrophages may participate i...
متن کاملFAT/CD36 regulates PEPCK expression in adipose tissue.
Fatty acid translocase (FAT)/CD36 has been extensively studied for its role in facilitating fatty acid uptake. Recent findings have also demonstrated that this protein regulates adipocyte lipolysis and may modulate fatty acid reesterification. As FAT/CD36 has been shown to control the expression of genes involved in fatty acid oxidation in adipocytes, we reasoned that this protein might also co...
متن کاملBrown Adipose Tissue in the Buccal Fat Pad during Infancy
BACKGROUND The buccal fat pad (BFP) is an encapsulated mass of adipose tissue thought to enhance the sucking capabilities of the masticatory muscles during infancy. To date, no conclusive evidence has been provided as to the composition of the BFP in early postnatal life. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine whether the BFP of neonates and infants is primarily composed of white ...
