tissue engineering based on the adipose derived stem cells  promote a strong strategy to propagation of bone, cartilage and fat tissues in the three-dimensional scaffolds, fabricated by combining biological materials with suitable and appropriate growth factors.  in this study, a peo scaffold was used to show that mesenchymal stem cells can attach well; the aim of this study was the investigati...

purpose the inflammatory state of adipose tissue in obese subjects may be the most important factor linking increased adipose tissue mass to insulin resistance. chemerin is a newly discovered adipokine that plays an important role in macrophage infiltration into adipose tissue and may contribute to the development of inflammation and insulin resistance. we examined the effects of 12 weeks of ae...

Morphological changes associated with mobilization of lipid were studied in epididymal adipose tissue from fasted and from alloxan diabetic rats. In both groups of animals a decrease in lipid content was accompanied by the formation of complex frond-like cytoplasmic processes and of loops and folds of basement membrane which extended from cell surfaces. These changes, evident after 1 day of fas...

The presence of brown adipose tissue responsible for thermogenic energy dissipation has been revealed in adult humans and has high clinical importance. Owing to limitations of current methods for brown adipose tissue detection, analysing the abundance and localization of brown adipose tissue in the body has remained challenging. Here we screen a combinatorial peptide library in mice and charact...

introduction: stromal cells having preadipocyte characteristics can be isolated from adipose tissue, propagated in vitro and induced to differentiate in vitro toward the osteogenic, adipogenic, myogenic and chondrogenic lineages when treated with established lineage-specific factors. in this research we isolated stromal cells from human adipose tissue and cultured and expanded and examined thei...

Research of the past decade has increased our understanding of the role adipose tissue plays in health and disease. Adipose tissue is now recognized as a highly active metabolic and endocrine organ. Adipocytes are of importance in buffering the daily influx of dietary fat and exert autocrine, paracrine and/or endocrine effects by secreting a variety of adipokines. The normal function of adipose...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The high level of metabolic activity present in visceral adipose tissue is associated with the development of atherothrombosis. Subcutaneous adipose tissue secretes larger quantities of the adipocytokines leptin and adiponectin than visceral adipose tissue. Epicardial adipose tissue secretes inflammatory mediators, and the resulting proinflammatory activity is greate...

Background: Adipose tissue is a main source for isolation of equine mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) at different ages. It seems that characteristics of adipose-derived MSCs especially gene expression profile are changing along with age increase. A proper reference gene is required for normalizing data in gene expression analysis by qRT-PCR. This study aimed to evaluate whether GAPDH has a stable ...
