Considering that post-menopausal women and ovariectomized rodents develop obesity associated with increased visceral fat, this study was developed to investigate if liraglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP1) analogue, could improve the metabolism of estrogen (E2) deficient females. Wistar rats were ovariectomized (OVX), and subdivided in four gr...

The purpose of the study is to explore the mechanism of transdifferentiation from white adipose tissue (WAT) to Brown adipose tissue (BAT). In this study, we established a model of mouse obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) before 30 days of forced exercise or sedentary mice. Then, we isolated extracellular vesicles (EVs) from plasma and identi...

General and comparative endocrinology
In pig, backfat deposition is strongly related to the growth and reproductive performance. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms of adipose tissue are not clearly understood. Adipose tissue is now recognized as an important endocrine organ that secretes a variety of factors including adipokines. However, the regulation of expression pattern ...

• Nrf2−/− mice are protected against weight gain and metabolic dysfunction under high fat diet (HFD). • Nrf2−/− mice display increased production of sirtuin 1 exclusively in visceral white adipose tissue (eWAT). • Removal of eWAT prior to HFD abolishes the increase in sirtuin 1 and impairs glucose tolerance. • A strong link exists between Nrf2 defi...

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is implicated in maintaining homeostasis of the internal environment in mammals. Therefore, changes occurring in the ANS can cause alterations of physiological phenomena. Ethyl hexanoate (EH) is known as the aroma component of apples. To study the action of ethyl hexanoate on physiological phenomena, we examined t...

Molecular metabolism
Beclin1 is a core molecule of the macroautophagy machinery. Although dysregulation of macroautophagy is known to be involved in metabolic disorders, the function of Beclin1 in adipocyte metabolism has not been investigated. In the present study, we aimed to study the role of Beclin1 in lipolysis and mitochondrial homeostasis of adipocytes. Autophag...

BackgroundExercise has been extensively utilised as an effective therapy for overweight- and obesity-associated changes that are linked to health complications. Several preclinical rodent studies have shown that treadmill exercise alongside an unhealthy diet improves metabolic health and microbiome composition. Furthermore, chronic exercise has bee...

Lipids in Health and Disease
Obesity exhibits a correlation with metabolic inflammation and endoplasmic reticulum stress, promoting the progression of metabolic disease such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hyperuricemia and so on. Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) are central players in obesity-associated inflammation and metabolic diseases. Macrophages are involved in lipid and ...

Adipose tissue enriched with adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) is often used for stem cell-based therapies. However, the characteristics of ASCs from different types of adipose tissue have varying biochemical and functional properties. We aimed to investigate how age affected the biological and functional characteristics of ASCs from brown (...

BackgroundObesity has reached an alarming rate worldwide. Promoting thermogenesis via increasing the function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) or white adipose tissue (WAT) browning has been proposed as a new protective approach against obesity. The goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of Royal Jelly (RJ) and tocotrienol rich fraction (TRF) ...
