Dysfunction in this tissue contributes to metabolic disorders and poses a significant risk for heart disease. Two types of ...

but without negatively impacting heart function. The researchers used a mouse model of obesity by feeding male mice a high-fat, high-sucrose diet over several weeks before switching to a “standard” ...

"Basically, what we're trying to show is there's potential influences that affect metabolic status and adipose tissue." ...

Although there have been relatively few studies of epicardial fat, the evidence reported so far suggests that epicardial adipose tissue is anatomically and clinically related to cardiac morphology ...

Using mice for the study, the researchers found that heart muscle also decreased in both ... characterized by a combination of high body fat and low skeletal muscle mass—which contributes ...

The mice were divided into groups based on exposure to a high-fat diet and subsequent weight loss. Adipose tissue samples were obtained from the mice. After the nuclei from the cells were isolated ...

Furthermore, epicardial adipose mass might reflect intra-abdominal visceral fat. Therefore, we propose that echocardiographic assessment of this tissue could serve as a reliable marker of visceral ...

A CNIC study published in Nature Communications reveals that caveolae in adipocytes help safely store excess fat, preventing ...

In modern societies, characterized by sedentary lifestyles and high-calorie diets, adipose tissue is a key determinant of ...
