As many as 40% of Americans are obese, putting them at an increased risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease and certain cancers, according to the CDC. New research from the ...

Why do we need to talk about fat? Because adipose tissue is an endocrine organ and as such a prominent signaling hub for maintaining metabolic health of our entire body! Immune cells populating the ...

Adipose tissue, an active endocrine organ, secretes adipokines like leptin and adiponectin, which can either promote or inhibit cancer development when their levels are altered in obesity.

Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab. 2013;8(2):123-125. Novel studies involving other regulatory mechanisms were also presented. Prolactin-releasing peptide in the dorsomedial hypothalamic nuclei is an ...

Since the discovery of leptin, adipose tissue has been viewed as a bona fide endocrine organ, from which a variety of adipokines and cytokines are released that act on other organs to regulate ...

Adipose tissue, an active endocrine organ, secretes adipokines like leptin and adiponectin, which can either promote or inhibit cancer development when their levels are altered in obesity.

Once considered merely a storage site for fats, adipose tissue is now recognized as a vital endocrine organ. Dysfunction in this tissue contributes to metabolic disorders and poses a significant ...

H 2 S generated by adipose tissues regulates the local insulin sensitivity. H 2 S can act as an 'adipocytes-derived relaxing factor' in aortic periadventitial adipose tissues. H 2 S plays ...

The diagram illustrates the RNAkine-mediated glucose metabolic regulatory network involving various secreted organs, including pancreas, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and liver, which have ...
