6). Combining these in vitro experiments with the in vivo results in the FAT-ATTAC mice, it appears that the local adipose tissue macrophages are in a constant state of inflammation and are the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Research has uncovered key differences in gene expression linked to inflammation, metabolism and cardioprotection. These findings could help inform the development of targeted therapies for ...

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

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.

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 ...

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

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