Adipocyte and adipogenesis

TLDR
Adipogenesis is the process during which fibroblast like preadipocytes developed into mature adipocytes, a well-orchestrated multistep process that requires the sequential activation of numerous transcription factors, including the CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) gene family and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ).

Adipose tissue in control of metabolism

TL;DR: This review will summarize the recent findings of adipose tissue in the control of metabolism, focusing on its endocrine and thermogenic function.

Obesity and cancer: the role of adipose tissue and adipo-cytokines-induced chronic inflammation

TL;DR: It is supported that inflammatory state specific of obesity may be important in obesity-cancer link and Dysfunctional adipose tissue in obesity releases a disturbed profile of adipokines with elevated levels of pro-inflammatory factors and a consequent alteration of key signaling mediators.

Role of microRNAs in obesity and obesity-related diseases

TL;DR: The status of current research on the role of miRNAs in obesity and related metabolic abnormalities is summarized and discussed.

Metabolic syndrome and obesity among users of second generation antipsychotics: A global challenge for modern psychopharmacology.

TL;DR: The scientific bases of SGAs metabolic side effects are not yet elucidated, but the evidence shows that the activation of transcriptional factor SRBP1c, the D1/D2 dopamine, GABA2 and 5HT neurotransmitions are implicated in the SGAs cardiovascular toxicity.

Human Adipose Tissue Is a Source of Multipotent Stem Cells

TL;DR: To confirm whether adipose tissue contains stem cells, the PLA population and multiple clonal isolates were analyzed using several molecular and biochemical approaches and PLA cells exhibited unique characteristics distinct from those seen in MSCs, including differences in CD marker profile and gene expression.

Adipose Tissue as an Endocrine Organ

TL;DR: An overview of the endocrine functions of adipose tissue can be found in this paper, where the authors highlight the adverse metabolic consequences of both adipose excess and deficiency, and propose a more rational therapy for these increasingly prevalent disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipocyte differentiation from the inside out.

TL;DR: Interest in adipogenesis has increased markedly over the past few years with emphasis on the intersection between extracellular signals and the transcriptional cascade that regulates adipocyte differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Understanding Adipocyte Differentiation

TL;DR: Characterization of regulatory regions of adipose-specific genes has led to the identification of the transcription factors peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma and CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP), which play a key role in the complex transcriptional cascade during adipocyte differentiation.
