Diabetes. 2007;56(8):1960-1968. In conclusion, we demonstrated that adipose tissue is infiltrated with macrophages and that its content of long-chain triacylglycerols and ceramides is increased in ...

This new study revolves around macrophages, immune cells that remove dead cells and repair tissues. Adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) keep the adipose tissue, or body fat, healthy and functioning ...

Lack of FcγRs reduces the activity of macrophages upon IgG stimulation, but neither FcγR nor C3 deficiency protects against HFD-induced glucose intolerance or reduces adipose tissue inflammation.

Overconsumption of nutrients prompts the infiltration of diverse types of macrophages into adipose tissue. Among them, ...

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.

Although obese individuals are at greater risk of diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, not all obese people ...

Biomedical scientists at the University of California, Riverside have received a $3.7 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to study the role of sex-specific immune responses in obesity ...

We tested the hypothesis that peri-adipocyte collagen is associated with higher obesity level and abdominal fat accumulation, lower adipose tissue attenuation, macrophage accumulation and altered ...

TREM2 is expressed by tissue macrophages in various parts of the body, including the central nervous system (microglia), the bone (osteoclasts), liver, adipose tissue, skin, gut, and tumor ...

Understanding why newborns, but not adults, can regenerate the heart could lead to treatments that "reprogram" adult macrophages.

Time-restricted eating may not add additional benefit in visceral adipose tissue reduction over the Mediterranean diet for people with overweight or obesity.

Objective: We sought to determine whether adipose tissue is inflamed in individuals with increased liver fat (LFAT) independently of obesity. Results: Expression levels of the macrophage marker ...
