1. Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 regulates white, beige and brown adipose tissue
Abstract : Obesity and its associated complications, including Type 2 diabetes, are increasing at an epidemic rate globally. Adipose tissue exerts different functions and is central in energy homeostasis, and it consists of white, beige or brown adipocytes. READ MORE

2. Hormone-Sensitive Lipase - New roles in adipose tissue biology
Abstract : Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health, and increased knowledge about the enzymes controlling lipid metabolism is of great importance in order to combat this disease. Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is a key enzyme in the mobilization of fatty acids from acylglycerols in adipocytes, but also plays important roles in other cell types. READ MORE

4. Studies on the links between white adipose tissue phenotype and the circulatory system
Abstract : Obesity is a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It is defined by an unhealthy excess of white adipose tissue (WAT). Adipose derived weight gains and losses are linked to changes in two other independent cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, and arterial stiffness. READ MORE

5. Immune cell-derived adipokines : role in white adipose tissue function and link to metabolic health
Abstract : The white adipose tissue (WAT) is home to a vast array of immune cells that control local homeostasis and metabolism by engaging in intricate crosstalk with adipocytes and their precursors through secreted factors (adipokines). In the obese WAT, these immune cells adopt a pro-inflammatory profile, resulting in a state of chronic low-grade inflammation that can perturb local and systemic metabolic function. READ MORE
