Journal ArticleDOI
Sex differences in human adipose tissues - the biology of pear shape
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of the relationship of fat distribution to metabolic health in men and women, and then focus on mechanisms underlying sex differences in adipose tissue biology was provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deconstructing the roles of glucocorticoids in adipose tissue biology and the development of central obesity
TL;DR: There is increasing evidence that GCs have multiple, depot-dependent effects on adipocyte gene expression and metabolism that promote central fat deposition and increasing evidence underlines the importance of circadian variations in GCs in relationship to the timing of meals for determining their anabolic actions on the adipocyte.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distinct Developmental Signatures of Human Abdominal and Gluteal Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Depots
Kalypso Karastergiou,Susan K. Fried,Hui Xie,Mi-Jeong Lee,Adeline Divoux,Marcus A. Rosencrantz,R. Jeffrey Chang,Steven R. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that developmentally programmed differences may contribute to the distinct phenotypic characteristics of peripheralFat distribution in men and women and in both sexes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shaping fat distribution: New insights into the molecular determinants of depot- and sex-dependent adipose biology.
TL;DR: To review recent advances in understanding the cellular mechanisms that regulate fat distribution, a large number of scientists believe that the current understanding of fat distribution is limited by the lack of understanding of how fat is distributed through the gut.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of a novel lncRNA in gluteal adipose tissue and evidence for its positive effect on preadipocyte differentiation
Adeline Divoux,Kalypso Karastergiou,Hui Xie,Weimen Guo,Ranjan J. Perera,Susan K. Fried,Steven R. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: This work aims to identify novel gene regulatory pathways that underlie the heterogeneity of human fat distribution that are associated with lower cardiometabolic risk and is associated with peripheral lower body fat risk.
