Adipocyte hyperplasia and fat deposition in high-weight and low- weight chickens
… overconsumption increased weight gain and fat deposition, with concomitant increases in the total adipocyte DNA content of the assayed fat depots. Injections of DNA-specific [methyl³H] thymidine resulted in higher radioactivity levels in the fat depots of forced versus ad libitum or …

The common fatty acids of human depot fat
… lipid in the mammalian organism is found in the depot fat. This tissue had, until fairly recently, been generally regarded as a semi-static food store, expanding and shrinking in response to a relative excess or deficit of dietary calories. This simple concept is no longer tenable. The pioneering …

Individual and combined effects of exercise training and dietary fat on myocardial triglycerides in obese mice
… Epicardial adipose tissue is a type of visceral fat located on the exterior of the heart. Recent evidence suggests an association between atherosclerosis, epicardial fat, and hepatic triglyceride deposition. PURPOSE -The purpose of this study was to determine the individual and combined effects …

Modelling altered Glucocorticoid Sensitivity: From HPA axis to metabolic abnormalities in mice and humans
… of the HPA axis as well as the control of body fat distribution, metabolic parameters and blood pressure. Although GR deficient mouse models have been previously generated (with homozygous nulls dying at birth), the effects of altered GR density upon fat distribution and blood pressure have not …

Factors associated with variation in the fatty acid composition and iodine value of carcass fat in pigs fed increasing levels of dried distillers grains with solubles
The effect of fat sampling location, pig removal program (pigs taken off test at one time [Single-group] vs. pigs taken off test in 6 groups over time [Multiple-groups]), and experimental subsample size (number of pigs/pen selected for IV measurement [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 pigs]) on fat quality …

Role of adipose tissue as an endocrineorgan in systemic inflammation
… as a result of adipocytokine production from fat tissue leading to dysregulation in the pro/anti‐inflammatory systemic balance. Adipokines and pro‐inflammatory markers are implicated in insulin insensitivity, blood glucose dysregulation, inflammation and atherosclerosis. There is a …

Creation and characterization of mice with a mutation disrupting binding of a transcriptional repressor of insulin-like growth factor 2
… muscle mass and a 15% decrease in subcutaneous fat deposition despite similar body weights. Though IGF2 is a highly conserved gene across species, similar mutations in IGF2 have not been detected. Therefore, the effect of mutations preventing the binding of ZBED6 to IGF2 in species other than …
