In patients with obesity, adipose tissue is characterized by low-grade inflammation and increased secretion of several cytokines. 1 Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 may be most ...

Inflammatory factors released by adipose tissue in COVID-19 patients may be the cause of damage to the heart, lungs, and nervous system described in such patients, she added.

Traditionally, the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue has been considered one of the factors most strongly related to cardiometabolic risk and chronic (low-grade) inflammation in humans.

The researchers conclude that in individuals who are living with obesity, adipose tissue insulin resistance is more severe in men than in women, which may partly explain why T2D is more common in men.

Brown adipose tissue is very, very rich in mitochondria. Instead of being the powerhouse of the cell, those mitochondria are the furnace. It basically short-circuits the typical process so that ...
