Caracterización de las conexiones intracelulares que definen la expansión disfuncional del tejido adiposo en obesidad
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2024)El tejido adiposo desempeña un papel esencial en la gestión de las reservas energéticas del organismo. Los adipocitos son las células más abundantes del tejido adiposo y constituyen su unidad funcional. Están especializados ... -
Crohn’s Disease Increases the Mesothelial Properties of Adipocyte Progenitors in the Creeping Fat
(MDPI, 2021)Our understanding of the interplay between human adipose tissue and the immune system is limited. The mesothelium, an immunologically active structure, emerged as a source of visceral adipose tissue. After investigating ... -
Journal article resistin regulates pituitary somatotrope cell function through the activation of multiple signaling pathways
(Endocrine Society, 2009)The adipokine resistin is an insulin-antagonizing factor that also plays a regulatory role in inflammation, immunity, food intake, and gonadal function. Although adipose tissue is the primary source of resistin, it is also ... -
Mediators of the cellular response to the development of obesity and metabolic disease
(Universidad de Córdoba, UCOPress, 2021)Obesity is the pandemic of the 21st century. Overall, about 15% of the world’s adult population is obese, and if the rising trend continues, it is estimated that global prevalence reaches 20% by 2025. Obesity poses a major ... -
The Role of Autophagy in White Adipose Tissue Function: Implications for Metabolic Health
(MDPI, 2020)White adipose tissue (WAT) is a highly adaptive endocrine organ that continuously remodels in response to nutritional cues. WAT expands to store excess energy by increasing adipocyte number and/or size. Failure in WAT ... -
The stromal-vascular fraction of adipose tissue contributes to major differences between subcutaneous and visceral fat depots
(Wiley, 2010)Adipose tissue represents a complex tissue both in terms of its cellular composition, as it includes mature adipocytes and the various cell types comprising the stromal-vascular fraction (SVF), and in relation to the ...
