TLDR
Cytofluorometric analysis reveals the presence of significant levels of lymphocytes in the stroma‐vascular fraction of white adipose tissues, supporting the notion that adipose tissue may elaborate immunological mechanisms to regulate its functions which might be altered in obesity.

Normalization of obesity-associated insulin resistance through immunotherapy.

TL;DR: It is discovered that CD4+ T lymphocytes, resident in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), control insulin resistance in mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO), andalyses of human tissue suggest that a similar process may also occur in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Concise review: adipose tissue-derived stromal cells--basic and clinical implications for novel cell-based therapies.

TL;DR: Compared with bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells, adipose tissue‐derived stromal cells (ADSC) do have an equal potential to differentiate into cells and tissues of mesodermal origin, such as adipocytes, cartilage, bone, and skeletal muscle, but the easy and repeatable access to subcutaneous adipOSE tissue and the simple isolation procedures provide a clear advantage.

Adipocyte Death, Adipose Tissue Remodeling, and Obesity Complications

TL;DR: These results implicate depot-selective adipocyte death and MΦ-mediated AT remodeling in inflammatory and metabolic complications of murine obesity.

Obesity is associated with macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue

TL;DR: Transcript expression in perigonadal adipose tissue from groups of mice in which adiposity varied due to sex, diet, and the obesity-related mutations agouti (Ay) and obese (Lepob) found that the expression of 1,304 transcripts correlated significantly with body mass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic inflammation in fat plays a crucial role in the development of obesity-related insulin resistance.

TL;DR: It is proposed that obesity-related insulin resistance is, at least in part, a chronic inflammatory disease initiated in adipose tissue, and that macrophage-related inflammatory activities may contribute to the pathogenesis of obesity-induced insulin resistance.

Obesity-induced inflammatory changes in adipose tissue

TL;DR: This issue of the JCI reports that obese adipose tissue is characterized by macrophage infiltration and that these macrophages are an important source of inflammation in this tissue.

Comparison of the Release of Adipokines by Adipose Tissue, Adipose Tissue Matrix, and Adipocytes from Visceral and Subcutaneous Abdominal Adipose Tissues of Obese Humans

TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to examine the source of adipokines released by the visceral and sc adipose tissues of obese humans and found that most of the adipokine release by the nonfat cells of adipose tissue was due to cells retained in the tissue matrix after collagenase digestion.

Preadipocyte Conversion to Macrophage EVIDENCE OF PLASTICITY

TL;DR: The results suggest that preadipocytes have the potential to be very efficiently and rapidly converted into macrophages and reinforces the link between adipose tissue and innate immunity processes.
