They found that modified mice fed a high-sugar diet accumulated less fat in adipose tissue—the normal fat deposits found ...

Diets and weight-loss drugs are marketed with health halos. But the real drive to lose weight is the societal stigma around ...

This was accompanied by histological and gene expression analysis of adipose tissue and liver to assess adipose tissue inflammation and hepatosteatosis. Moreover, acute hypothalamic response to ...

A new study suggests that beta blockers could reduce fat accumulation in the liver of mice genetically predisposed to ...

brown adipose tissue (BAT) burns it, generating heat. As people age, BAT diminishes, increasing obesity risk. SerpinA1, a hepatokine secreted by the liver, has been shown to reverse this process ...

By investigating how lipid-soluble Cer is transported between cells, the researchers demonstrated that high-density lipoprotein (HDL) serves as the primary carrier for Cer transport. Upon reaching ...

Visceral adipose tissue is located in the abdominal cavity. It surrounds the liver, intestines and stomach. While Tregs are critical to the healthy function of VAT, these vital immune system ...

The Biliary Epigenetics and Regenerative Medicine Lab of Robert C. Huebert, M.D., includes research programs and a biobank containing stem cells from patients with liver disease.

Although fat was released from adipose tissue into the bloodstream, the liver did not absorb it as expected. Instead, the fatty acids were redirected to the skeletal muscles. Interestingly ...

Obesity is a critical public health concern affecting millions worldwide. Yet, it is often oversimplified as an issue of ...

Adipose and skeletal muscle tissues have GLUT4 ... Thus, during the fed state the liver responds directly to blood glucose levels by increasing its rate of glucose uptake. In addition to being ...

Mice that were exposed to the drug broke down more adipose fat than those that didn't receive the drug, and that fat then accumulated in the liver. This suggests catecholamines circulating ...
