Abstract The evolution of beauty market and personal care is constant in Brazil as well the rest world. Technological advances have brought up nanotechnology to cosmetological field, employing active principles at atoms enveloped by vesicles, order take principle precisely target tissue optimize results achieved because considerable ease cross skin barriers. Manufacturing cosmetics confronted w...

The β-3 adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in regulating lipolysis, as part of homeostatic regulation. In this study, South African Mutton Merino and Shanxi Dam Line were used to study the distribution and quantification of ADRB3 in adipose (subcutaneous, omental, retroperitoneal, mesenteric and perirenal fat) and non-adipose (heart, liver, spleen, lung and kid...

Although apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100) plays a key role in peripheral fat deposition, it is not considered a suitable therapeutic target in obesity. In the present study we describe a novel ApoB100 mimotope, peptide pB1, and the use of pB1-based vaccine-like formulations (BVFs) against high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity. In HFD- compared with chow-fed adolescent mice, BVFs reduced the 3-month ...

Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) facilitate the diffusion of fatty acids within cellular cytoplasm. Compared with C57Bl/6J mice maintained on a high-fat diet, adipose-FABP (A-FABP) null mice exhibit increased fat mass, decreased lipolysis, increased muscle glucose oxidation, and attenuated insulin resistance, whereas overexpression of epithelial-FABP (E-FABP) in adipose tissue results in dec...

The mechanism of the insulin-like action of trypsin was studied. When fat cells were exposed to trypsin (1 mg per ml) for 15 set, glucose metabolism in the cells was stimulated. This stimulation (like that by insulin) was inhibited by phloretin or 3-O-methyl-n-glucose. By the above treatment with trypsin, cellular lipolysis induced by epinephrine was blocked to a large extent, but that induced ...

Due to the presence of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in tissues and its specific influence on white adipose tissue, fat cells are possible targets of pharmacological RAS blockers commonly used as anti-hypertensive drugs. In the present study, we investigated the effects of different RAS blockers on fat cell metabolism, more specifically on lipolysis, lipogenesis and oxidation of energy sub...

Circulating fatty acids (FAs) have an unclear relationship to insulin sensitivity. During fasting and exercise, FAs from white adipose tissue (WAT) lipolysis are delivered to peripheral tissue to meet energy needs. In obesity, excess circulating FAs are thought to drive the development of insulin resistance. Girousse et al., through a variety of in vivo and in vitro human and mouse studies, pro...

Leptin is a hormone produced by the adipose tissue that acts in the brain, stimulating white fat breakdown. We find that the lipolytic effect of leptin is mediated through the action of sympathetic nerve fibers that innervate the adipose tissue. Using intravital two-photon microscopy, we observe that sympathetic nerve fibers establish neuro-adipose junctions, directly "enveloping" adipocytes. L...

INTRODUCTION Liposuction using laser is now one of the most common cosmetic surgery. This new method has minimized the disadvantages of the conventional liposuction including blood loss, skin laxity and long recovery time. Benefits of the new liposuction methods which include less trauma, bleeding and skin tightening prove the superiority of these methods over the traditional mechanical methods...
