TLDR
It is suggested that SC fat is intrinsically different from VIS fat and produces substances that can act systemically to improve glucose metabolism.

The cellular and signaling networks linking the immune system and metabolism in disease

TL;DR: This work discusses how various networks underlie the etiology of the inflammatory component of insulin resistance, with a particular focus on the central roles of macrophages in adipose tissue and liver.

Forming functional fat: a growing understanding of adipocyte differentiation

TL;DR: Improving the understanding of these mechanisms may allow us to identify therapeutic targets against metabolic diseases that are rapidly becoming epidemic globally.

Prdm16 determines the thermogenic program of subcutaneous white adipose tissue in mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Prdm16 is a cell-autonomous determinant of a brown fat-like gene program and thermogenesis in subcutaneous adipose tissues and reduced the brown fat phenotype in white adipose tissue stimulated by β-adrenergic agonists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose-derived circulating miRNAs regulate gene expression in other tissues

TL;DR: Transplantation of both white and brown adipose tissue—brown especially—into ADicerKO mice restores the level of numerous circulating miRNAs that are associated with an improvement in glucose tolerance and a reduction in hepatic Fgf21 mRNA and circulating FGF21.

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.

Obesity-associated improvements in metabolic profile through expansion of adipose tissue

TL;DR: It is proposed that adiponectin acts as a peripheral "starvation" signal promoting the storage of triglycerides preferentially in adipose tissue, and reduced triglyceride levels in the liver and muscle convey improved systemic insulin sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipose-selective targeting of the GLUT4 gene impairs insulin action in muscle and liver

TL;DR: Downregulation of GLUT4 and glucose transport selectively in adipose tissue can cause insulin resistance and thereby increase the risk of developing diabetes, as well as developing glucose intolerance and hyperinsulinaemia.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Muscle-Specific Insulin Receptor Knockout Exhibits Features of the Metabolic Syndrome of NIDDM without Altering Glucose Tolerance

TL;DR: Insulin resistance in muscle contributes to the altered fat metabolism associated with type 2 diabetes, but tissues other than muscle appear to be more involved in insulin-regulated glucose disposal than previously recognized.
