Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha: direct role in obesity-linked insulin resistance

TL;DR: A role for TNF-alpha in obesity and particularly in the insulin resistance and diabetes that often accompany obesity is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms Controlling Mitochondrial Biogenesis and Respiration through the Thermogenic Coactivator PGC-1

TL;DR: PGC-1, a cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis and respiration in muscle cells through an induction of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP-2) and through regulation of the nuclear respiratory factors (NRFs).
Journal ArticleDOI

A cold-inducible coactivator of nuclear receptors linked to adaptive thermogenesis.

TL;DR: Results indicate that PGC-1 plays a key role in linking nuclear receptors to the transcriptional program of adaptive thermogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased adipose tissue expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha in human obesity and insulin resistance.

TL;DR: A role for the abnormal regulation of this cytokine in the pathogenesis of obesity-related insulin resistance is suggested as well as the effects of weight reduction by dietary treatment of obesity on the adipose expression of TNF-alpha mRNA.
