OBJECTIVES: Adipocyte is the only cell whose size may vary dramatically in physiological conditions. We hypothesized that increase in fat cell size per se could modulate several signalling ...

Researchers at CNIC uncovered a vital role for caveolae in fat cell expansion. These membrane structures shield adipocytes from mechanical stress, enabling safe energy storage and preventing ...

A common fatty acid in olive oil, as well as many other plant oils, has been found to stimulate the body's production of new ...

For example, in addition to the 'classical' fat (adipocyte) cells, we found subpopulations of adipocytes, characterized here ...

They specifically examined each extract’s effect on that transformation process and lipid accumulation, which is the build-up of fat within cells, particularly adipocytes. While some fat in the ...

Fat cells, illustration. The majority of each adipocyte (fat cell) is filled with a lipid droplet (yellow). Cell nuclei are red. Adipocytes form adipose tissue, which stores energy as an ...

This is why certain therapeutic approaches have centered around converting white fat cells (known as adipocytes) into brown fat cells. White adipocytes store excess energy and can eventually result in ...

Conversely, changes in adipocyte function affect systemic metabolism, including insulin sensitivity in liver and muscle, insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells, and food intake and energy ...

Learn about our Editorial Policies. When Wolfrum and his team used single-cell RNA sequencing on mouse fat cells they found that adipocytes came in 10 varieties. These findings expand the limited ...
