...Molly K. Gabler-Smith; Andrew J. Westgate; Heather N. Koopman ABSTRACT Diving tetrapods (sea turtles, seabirds and marine mammals) are a biologically diverse group, yet all are under similar constraints: oxygen limitation and increased hydrostatic pressure at depth. Adipose tissue is important...

...Cristina Salmerón; Raul K. Suarez; Hans H. Hoppeler ABSTRACT White adipose tissue (AT) is the main lipid storage depot in vertebrates. Initially considered to be a simple lipid store, AT has recently been recognized as playing a role as an endocrine organ that is implicated in processes...

...Theresa Schoettl; Ingrid P. Fischer; Siegfried Ussar; Raul K. Suarez; Hans H. Hoppeler ABSTRACT Adipose tissue is a central metabolic organ. Unlike other organs, adipose tissue is compartmentalized into individual depots and distributed throughout the body. These different adipose depots show major...

... that they are required in the hypothalamus to modulate the sensitivity of neuroendocrine pathways to leptin. Moreover, the dosage of imprinted genes in developing and mature adipose tissue can modulate leptin secretion (summarised in Fig. 1 ). Dlk1 null mothers give birth to larger litters than wild-type...

...Panna Tandon; Rebecca Wafer; James E. N. Minchin; Raul K. Suarez; Hans H. Hoppeler ABSTRACT Adipose morphology is defined as the number and size distribution of adipocytes (fat cells) within adipose tissue. Adipose tissue with fewer but larger adipocytes is said to have a ‘hypertrophic’ morphology...

...Adam C. Lehnig; Kristin I. Stanford; Raul K. Suarez; Hans H. Hoppeler ABSTRACT The beneficial effects of exercise on skeletal muscle and the cardiovascular system have long been known. Recent studies have focused on investigating the effects of exercise on adipose tissue and the effects...

..., adipose tissue and plasma samples were collected before and after ivGTTs performed on early (2 weeks, N =5) and late (6–8 weeks; N =8) fasted pups. Glucose administration increased plasma triglycerides and NEFA concentrations in late-fasted seals, but not plasma glycerol. Fasting decreased basal adipose...

... endothermy has been presented and may represent a first step in the evolution of this trait. The opah has only a putative counter-current heat exchanger and adipose tissue to conserve heat produced by contraction of the LRM and SRM whereas all other fish species exhibiting cranial endothermy either have...

... that the aerobic energy metabolism of Antarctic fish is fueled predominantly by the catabolism of fatty acids, with the catabolic machinery displaying a preference for the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. The composition of the fatty acids released from adipose tissue of Antarctic fish during lipolysis...

...Josep V. Planas; Eva Méndez; Núria Baños; Encarnación Capilla; Isabel Navarro; Joaquim Gutiérrez ABSTRACT In fish, insulin is believed to act on adipose tissue to promote lipid accumulation, but a direct role for insulin in fish adipose tissue lipogenesis has yet to be demonstrated. To investigate...
