Characterising fat tissue structure and function in response to hypoxia in grey seals, an animal model of extreme fat deposition and mobilisation, using novel <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i> approaches
… reproduction and moulting. The regulation of fat mobilisation during these processes is a key factor for their survival. Unlike in humans, reproductive fitness and first-year survival are positively linked to adiposity in seals. Therefore, the rapid fluctuations in body mass and metabolic …

Validating the ability of REIMS to differentiate lamb flavor performance based on consumer preference
… platform captured metabolomic data from lean tissue, external fat tissue and ground sensory patties. New binary values were developed as well as levels of intensity based on consumer responses for the development of predictive models. Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to reduce …

Development of a fat concentration device for plastic and reconstructive surgery applications
The utilisation of liposuction derived autologous fat tissue in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is increasingly common. There is no standardized method for concentrating liposuction derived fat for re-injection, but a number of approaches exist, many of which require multiple manipulations of …

Mechanisms of growth hormone inhibition of adipose tissue growth
… body and muscle growth but also inhibits adipose tissue growth. The overall objective of this study was to determine the mechanisms by which GH inhibits adipose tissue growth. Three studies were conducted to achieve this objective. The first study was conducted to determine if GH inhibits fat …

The Role of Fto-Gene In Adiposity and Insulin Resistance: Interaction With Diet and Physical Activity
… our study was to assess the combined effect of fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene, dietary intake, and physical activity on the measures of adiposity. Specifically, we explored the interaction between FTO polymorphisms and selected foods and nutrients (saturated fat, dietary fiber, red …

Körperfettmessung bei Kindern und Jugendlichen - Alters- und geschlechtsbezogene Perzentilen von Hautfaltendicke, Taillen- und Hüftumfang sowie Taille-Hüft-Index und Taille-Größe-Index: Ergebnisse einer pädiatrischen Kohorte in Deutschland (LIFE Child)
… measurements are simple methods for assessing fat tissue at defined body parts. We examined these parameters in a cohort of healthy children and adolescents in Leipzig. Our study provides current percentile curves for biceps, triceps, subscapular and iliac crest ST, plus WC, HC, Waist-to-Hip …

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 …

THE PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF INDOOR VERSUS OUTDOOR AEROBIC EXERCISE IN FEMALE CANCER SURVIVORS: A LITERATURE REVIEW
… by an increased energy expenditure to reduce fat tissue, thus decreasing the production of estrogen in post-menopausal women. Adequate levels of vitamin D are important to combat depression and tumor proliferation as well, which can be controlled through outdoor exercise in the sun or …

Obesity accelerates mammary carcinogenesis in a rat model of polygenic obesity susceptibility
… (DS) rats rapidly accumulate excess body fat and display metabolic perturbations, including resistance to insulin and leptin, which normally provide "stop eating" anorexigenic cues. In contrast, diet resistant (DR) rats remain lean despite being fed the same diet. Findings from experiments …

The Effects of Chronic Prophylactic Naproxen Sodium on Skeletal Muscle Adaptation to Resistance Exercise in Recreationally-Trained College-Aged Males
… to exercise, strength, dominant arm lean and fat tissue, and non-dominant arm bone mineral content. No significant treatment effects were detected for any dependent variables, thus twice weekly naproxen sodium (440mg) does not appear to inhibit skeletal muscle adaptation to resistance exercise …

Role of adipose tissue as an endocrineorgan in systemic inflammation
… spurred multidisciplinary research into adipose tissue and importantly, the molecular biology of the adipocyte. The concept of adipose tissue as an endocrine organ, in addition to an energy storage compartment, is now pivotal in linking excess adiposity to disease states. Recent studies suggest …

Melanin-Concentrating Hormone Receptor-1 is Enriched in Lipid Rafts and the Effects of Lipid Raft Integrity on Receptor Signaling
… MCHR-1 is expressed in neural, pancreatic, and fat tissue. Fat cells begin their journey as pre-adipocytes, culminating in the formation of mature adipocytes as differentiation occurs. Of interest to note, fat cells accumulate caveolae markers -caveolin-1 and cholesterol -during this process. …

A Network Approach to Understanding miRNA Regulation in Adipose Tissue
<p>Adipose tissue is a complex organ that is essential for lipid storage and energy homeostasis in mammals. While transcription factors that govern adipogenesis, inflammation, non-shivering thermogenesis, and endocrine function in fat tissue have been well-described, comparatively less attention …

THE ROLE OF CGI-58/ABHD5 IN LIPID METABOLISM, INFLAMMATION, AND INSULIN ACTION
… lead to inflammation and metabolic diseases like fatty liver and diabetes. In 2001, a novel protein known as Comparative Gene Identification 58 (CGI-58) was discovered to regulate cellular levels of triglyceride, a major lipid storage molecule. Humans with genetic mutations in CGI-58 accumulate …

Anti-tubercular Clofazimine Analogs with Improved Physicochemical Properties
… and drug crystallization in body organs and fatty tissues. These crystalline deposits cause gastrointestinal (GI) adverse effects, generalized tissue inflammation, and an undesired reddish-brown discoloration of the skin and conjunctiva. Therefore, structural modifications of clofazimine that …

Effects of nutritional plans and genetic groups on quantitative traits of pigs
… of genotypes for high performance led to a fat level reduction and loss of meat quality as consequence. An alternative to improve meat quality is the crossbreeding of non-selected local pig breed, such as Piau, with improved breeds such as Duroc, Pietrain and Large White. However, growth …

Factors associated with milk fat secretion of cows in response to contrasting available energy consumption
… conducted to determine the relationship of milk fat secretion to concentration and ratio of rumen fermentation products, blood metabolic parameters, ration characteristics, and certain enzymic activity involved in fatty acid synthesis. In Experiment I, 21 cows in mid-lactation were randomized …

Understanding the effects of maternal undernutrition in early gestation on placental development in late gestation
… Leptin, is ahormone that is secreted by fat tissue and plays a role in energy homeostasis,metabolism and reproduction. Therefore, it could be one potential mechanism bywhich maternal nutrition can influence placental function and in turn, fetaldevelopment. I found placentae from dams who …

Lipid Micro Emboli in Cardiac Surgery
… bone marrow after sternotomy and the mediastinal fat tissue manipulated during the surgery in order to expose the heart for cannulation. When the blood was collected in a separate transfusion bag and transfused over a short period of time the increase of lipid micro emboli could be detected in the …
