Comparative Analysis of Body Composition and Reference Values of Visceral Adipose Tissues in Various American Collegiate Sports
… states and accurately estimate certain types of tissues. In athletes, performing BC assessments helps gauge training and nutrition programs to see if they are adequately meeting the athlete’s needs to improve performance. Annual Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans before the start of an …

Association of Aortic Vascular Stiffness with Epicardial and Pericardial Adipose Tissues on 64-Multidetector Computed Tomography : In Relation with Coronary Atherosclerosis
… risk factors. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and adipose tissues are accurate markers of overall burden of coronary atherosclerosis and metabolic status, respectively. We evaluated the relation of vascular stiffness with epicardial (EAT) and pericardial (PAT) adipose tissues, as well as the …

The Effects of Feeding Growing Female Rats Different Sources of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Lipogenic Gene Expression and Lipid Metabolism in Liver and Adipose Tissues
… SCD-1 gene expression. In the gonadal adipose tissue, FO was the only oil source to alter lipolytic gene expression. PPARgamma was up-regulated in FO (P=0.04) compared to CO-fed rats. FO had the highest (P<0.05) EPA:DHA ratio in gonadal adipose tissue. All n-3 PUFA sources decreased …

The role of beta3-adrenergic receptors in control of brown and white adipose tissues and of energy balance: Reversal of obesity by CL 316,243, a new beta3-adrenergic agonist.
… $\beta$3-adrenergic receptor in brown and white adipose tissues. Selective $\beta$3-adrenergic receptor agonists have been developed that will stimulate both the mobilization of fat from white adipose tissue, the site of triacylglycerol storage in the body, and the oxidation of this fat in brown …

Enhancement of Hiv Persistence By Adipose Tissue
… T cells and macrophages, traffic into various tissues where most viral replication occurs, or in the case of virally-suppressed antiretroviral-treated patients, the virus becomes dormant and protected from drugs and immune responses. The major tissue reservoirs for HIV include lymphoid tissues …

Genetic Analysis of Adipose Lineage and Development
Adipose tissues protect t against traumatic and thermal insults, and regulate lifespan, reproduction and metabolism. The importance of forming the appropriate number of adipocytes is highlighted by the significant metabolic disturbances that accompany too few (lipodystrophy) or too many (obesity) …

The Pathophysiological Importance of Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase as a Key NAD Biosynthesis Enzyme in Metabolic Homeostasis
… respectively), and eNAMPT is secreted from adipose tissue as one of the adipokines. However, the mechanism underlying the regulation of eNAMPT secretion has not been fully understood yet. Here, we have demonstrated that deacetylation on NAMPT by SIRT1 controls its secretion from adipocytes. …

Femtosecond CARS Microscopy to characterize lipid droplets in Engineered Adipose Tissue
Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue whose purpose was once thought to be limited to fat storage but is now understood to be a key factor in the pathogenesis of different metabolic diseases, including obesity and type-II diabetes. Adipose tissue consists largely of adipocytes, cells …

Distribution of S-(2-Succinyl)Cysteine In the Tissues of Animal Models of Diabetes and Obesity
… on proteins. Although 2SC is found in normal tissues, increased nutrients cause a back up of the electron transport chain (ETC) and a buildup of Krebs cycle intermediates, including fumarate. Previously, we have seen increased succination in adipose tissue of the db/db type 2 diabetic mouse …

Lipid metabolism and mitochondrial respiration in adipose tissue and liver during obesity
… as obese in 2024. Most fats are stored in white adipose tissue (WAT), which is greatly expanded during obesity, and shows impaired energetic function. In addition, the liver is a key site of ectopic fat deposition in obesity, resulting in changes in metabolic function. It has been proposed that …

Qualitative and Quantitative Regulation of the Leptin Gene in vivo
… to fluctuation in energy intake and output. Adipose tissues participate in metabolic regulation by serving as an energy store and by secreting adipokines such as leptin and adiponectin. Leptin functions as the afferent signal to the central nervous system in a negative feedback loop that …

Effects of ractopamine hydrochloride on nutrient digestibility, environmental N excretion, regulation of skeletal muscle growth, and beta-receptor subtypes in finishing beef steers
… subtypes between bovine muscle, organ, and adipose tissues through western blotting procedures. In a randomized complete block design, twelve Simmental × Angus steers were assigned dietary treatments including a control (without Actogain; CON) or 400 mg·steer-1·d-1 ractopamine hydrochloride …

Evaluation of the pre-ruminant calf as a model for the study of beta-carotene metabolism in the human
… also compared well to reports from human tissues, with adrenal and liver tissues containing the highest concentrations. Concentrations in kidney, lung, spleen and adipose tissues were also significantly elevated after a dose of $\beta$-carotene. The preruminant calf has shown the ability …

Characterizing Muscle and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Imaging Phantoms for NMR Application
… The phantoms simulate muscle and subcutaneous adipose tissues (SCAT) and assure the repeatability and accuracy of the technique. We determined that the 40% phantoms model muscle tissue and 70% model SCAT. The microstructure of the 40% phantoms was changed by controlling temperature and stir …

Verifying the Deletion of Growth Hormone Receptor Using a Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction at the mRNA Level in Tissue-Specific GHR-/- Mice
… life span. The contribution of individual tissues to the phenotype of GHR-/- mice is not known but of extreme interest in the aging field. Three tissues likely to contribute to the improved insulin sensitivity are liver, adipose tissues, and muscle, as these are insulin and GH sensitive. To …

Mapping And Directing Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism In Health And Insulin Resistance
… for understanding BCAA metabolism. Most tissues supply 1-5% of their TCA carbons from BCAAs, but the pancreas supplies 20% of its TCA carbons from BCAAs. Novel modeling of whole-body metabolic flux indicates the greatest portion of systemic BCAA oxidation occurs in skeletal muscle, brown …

UNCOVERING THE MOLECULAR BASIS FOR FATTY ACID SYNTHASE PRODUCT SPECIFICITY: STRUCTURAL AND KINETIC EVALUATION OF THIOESTERASE I AND THIOESTERASE II
… the exception of lactating breast, liver and adipose tissues, FASN expression is essentially absent in normal cells since these cells obtain lipids from the diet. In lactating breast, the product distribution of FASN is modulated by a monofunctional type II thioesterase, called thioesterase II …

Hedgehog Signaling Plays a Conserved Role in Inhibiting Fat Formation
… and differentiation in a wide variety of tissues in both invertebrates and vertebrate has been well established. However, relative little is known about its function in formation of adipose tissues. To address this question, Drosophila and mammalian models were used to analyze its …
