Mashup Score: 3Lipid and glucose metabolism in white adipocytes: pathways, dysfunction and therapeutics - 3 year(s) ago
White adipocyte metabolism is important for the regulation of systemic metabolism and is often dysregulated in various conditions, such as cancer and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this Review, Langin and colleagues provide an overview of lipid metabolism in white adipocytes and the related metabolism of glucose and discuss how these pathways provide therapeutic targets in metabolic disorders.

Mashup Score: 12The cellular and functional complexity of thermogenic fat - 3 year(s) ago
Brown and beige adipocytes are mammalian thermogenic fat cells that regulate whole-body energy metabolism. Notably, brown/beige adipocytes are heterogeneous and their functions extend beyond thermogenesis, encompassing roles as metabolite sinks, as secretory cells and as regulators of adipose tissue homeostasis. Thus, induction of brown/beige fat activity correlates with improved metabolic health.

Mashup Score: 1Myeloma-Modified Adipocytes Exhibit Metabolic Dysfunction and a Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype - 3 year(s) ago
Bone marrow adipocytes (BMAd) have recently been implicated in accelerating bone metastatic cancers, such as acute myelogenous leukemia and breast cancer. Importantly, bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) expands with aging and obesity, two key risk factors in multiple myeloma disease prevalence, suggesting that BMAds may influence and be influenced by myeloma cells in the marrow. Here, we provide…

Mashup Score: 6
Adipocytes respond to environmental cues, such as metabolic stress, by releasing endocrine factors that modulate diverse physiological processes. This Review discusses the metabolic functions of adipose tissue-derived endocrine hormones and highlights how these factors might contribute to cardiometabolic diseases.

Mashup Score: 0Fungal-like particles and macrophage-conditioned medium are inflammatory elicitors for 3T3-L1 adipocytes - 4 year(s) ago
Adipocytes from white-adipose tissue are known to produce inflammatory cytokines, which play a major role in energy balance and metabolism. While they can respond to pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMPs) such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) from bacteria, it is not known whether adipocytes can be stimulated by fungal cells. Previously, adipocytes were shown to produce toll-like receptor 2…

Mashup Score: 1
Attané et al. show that, although human bone marrow adipocytes (BM-Ads) resemble classic white adipocytes on a morphological level, their lipid metabolism is highly specific. They are devoid of lipolytic activity, one of the main metabolic functions of white adipocytes, which explains why they behave like a preserved lipid source under energy-demanding conditions.
