Journal ArticleDOI
Adipose tissue, obesity and adipokines: role in cancer promotion
TL;DR: The function of well-characterized and novel adipokines including leptin, adiponectin, apelin, visfatin, resistin, chemerin, omentin, nesfatin and vaspin are defined and the data that relates their dysfunction to specific cancer outcomes is summarized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adipose tissue: an endocrine organ playing a role in metabolic regulation.
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the relation between adipokines and adipose depot derived cytokines in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis is presented, with particular focus on interactions within the insulin-signaling pathway and subsequent regulation of glucose uptake in both standard and obesity-induced dysregulated conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subcutaneous adipose tissue accumulation protects systemic glucose tolerance and muscle metabolism
Andrea Booth,Aaron Magnuson,Josephine K. Fouts,Yuren Wei,Dong Wang,Michael J. Pagliassotti,Michelle T. Foster +6 more
TL;DR: The current data supports that the subcutaneous depot protects systemic glucose homeostasis while also protecting proximal muscle from metabolic dysregulation and lipid accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet-induced obesity causes visceral, but not subcutaneous, lymph node hyperplasia via increases in specific immune cell populations
Aaron Magnuson,Daniel P. Regan,Josephine K. Fouts,Andrea Booth,Steven W. Dow,Michelle T. Foster +5 more
TL;DR: The spatial proximity of adipose depots to secondary lymph nodes allows a unique relation between the two systems and it is postulated that secondary lymphatics within this region contributes to disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adipose tissue extrinsic factor: Obesity-induced inflammation and the role of the visceral lymph node.
TL;DR: The visceral lymph node, the immune nexus of visceral adipose tissue and the small intestines, likely plays a fundamental role in exacerbation of systemic pro-inflammation by HFD-induced obesity.
