White adipose tissue, light micrograph and 3D illustration, hematoxilin and eosin staining, magnification 100x. Fat cells (adipocytes) have large lipid droplet which remains unstained.

Adipose tissue, when carried around ... Events taking place on the surface of the lipid droplet relating to lipolysis and the complex proteinaceous machinery mediating this process also offer ...

Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body.

The aim of this study was to establish the time-course of molecular events in intrascapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) during the development of diet-induced obesity using microarrays and ...

Syntaxin 17 promotes lipid droplet formation Cells store energy in lipid droplets, and many such droplets are made in the liver, which plays an important role in coordinating fat metabolism.

The majority of each adipocyte (fat cell) is filled with a lipid droplet (yellow). Cell nuclei are red. Adipocytes form ...

Omega-3 fatty acids are able to stimulate the activation of brown and beige adipose tissues, ... The lipid sensor GPR120 promotes brown fat activation and FGF21 release from adipocytes.

Vilified even more maliciously is the adipose tissue it forms, otherwise known as fat. All we seem to want to do is "shed," "cut," or "burn" it. Until the 1940s, scientists were indifferent to fat, ...

The study found that microplastic particles (MPs) not only induce senescence in white adipose tissue but also significantly ...

Fat stored on the body – adipose tissue – contains many different cell types, including white fat (WAT) cells, which store lipids, and brown fat (BAT) cells, which burn lipids to produce heat ...

Obese adipose tissue contains a unique histological structure termed crown-like structure (CLS), where adipocyte-macrophage crosstalk is known to occur in close proximity. Here we show that Macrophage ...
