Potassium homeostasis and management of dyskalemia in kidney diseases: conclusions from a Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Controversies Conference

TL;DR: Conference deliberations on potassium homeostasis in health and disease, guidance for evaluation and management of dyskalemias in the context of kidney diseases, and research priorities in each of the above areas are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determinants of body fat distribution in humans may provide insight about obesity-related health risks.

TL;DR: This review discusses what is known about the determinants of bodyfat distribution, and highlights the important roles of sex hormones, aging, and genetic variation in the determination of body fat distribution and its contribution to obesity-related comorbidities.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time that selective-activation of ERα in adipocytes increases markers of beiging and this is likely through induction of AMPK and ATGL-mediated lipolysis providing FFAs as a fuel to activate UCP-1.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of estrogens in the adipose tissue milieu.

TL;DR: The role of estrogens and their influence in determining body fat distribution and overall health of adipose tissues, and the role of epigenetic mechanisms in regulating the production and function of estrogen are focused on.
