Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced Adipose Tissue Oxygenation in Human Obesity: Evidence for Rarefaction, Macrophage Chemotaxis, and Inflammation Without an Angiogenic Response

TL;DR: Adipose tissue rarefaction might lie upstream of both low AT pO2 and inflammation in obesity, and novel approaches to treat the dysfunctional AT found in obesity are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

A High-Fat Diet Coordinately Downregulates Genes Required for Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation in Skeletal Muscle

TL;DR: Results suggest a mechanism whereby HFD downregulates genes necessary for OXPHOS and mitochondrial biogenesis and, if sustained, may result in mitochondrial dysfunction in the prediabetic/insulin-resistant state.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship of waist circumference and BMI to visceral, subcutaneous, and total body fat: sex and race differences.

TL;DR: Sex differences, and in some instances race differences, in the relationships between anthropometry and fat‐specific depots demonstrate that these characteristics need to be considered when predicting adiposity from WC or BMI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increased fat intake, impaired fat oxidation, and failure of fat cell proliferation result in ectopic fat storage, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: Two new paradigms have emerged that may explain the established links between adiposity and disease and provide a framework to advance the understanding of the pathophysiology of the insulin‐resistance syndrome.
