Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acid composition of adipose tissue and blood in humans and its use as a biomarker of dietary intake.
TL;DR: Analysis of evidence from a wide variety of cross-sectional and intervention studies confirms that fatty acid biomarkers can complement dietary assessment methodologies and have the potential to be used more quantitatively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrative physiology of human adipose tissue
TL;DR: Adipose tissue is now recognised as a highly active metabolic and endocrine organ, and its functions are regulated by multiple external influences such as autonomic nervous system activity, the rate of blood flow and the delivery of a complex mix of substrates and hormones in the plasma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intramuscular triglyceride and muscle insulin sensitivity: evidence for a relationship in nondiabetic subjects.
D.I.W. Phillips,D.I.W. Phillips,S. Caddy,S. Caddy,Vera Ilic,Vera Ilic,Barbara A. Fielding,Barbara A. Fielding,Keith N. Frayn,Keith N. Frayn,A.C. Borthwick,A.C. Borthwick,Roy Taylor,Roy Taylor +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that increased muscle TG stores are associated with decreased insulin-stimulated glycogen synthase activity, which may underlie a major part of the insulin resistance in normal subjects, as well as type II diabetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Substituting dietary saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat changes abdominal fat distribution and improves insulin sensitivity

TL;DR: Dietary manipulation would be more readily achieved by the general population than the current recommendations and could result in considerable improvement in insulin sensitivity, reducing the risk of developing Type II diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specialized hepatocyte-like cells regulate Drosophila lipid metabolism
TL;DR: The oenocyte is identified as the principal cell type accumulating lipid droplets during starvation in Drosophila, providing evidence that some lipid-processing functions of the mammalian liver are performed in insects by oenocytes.
