Studies on receptors and actions of steroid hormones in adipose tissue Implications for fat distribution
Adipose tissue distribution is different between women and men. Therefore, we have investigated the expression of steroid receptors in human adipose tissue and report that receptors for glucocorticoid androgen and estrogen are present in human adipose tissue. Furthermore, we discovered regional differences in expression pattern, indicating that steroid hormones might affect the different adipos...
متن کاملDirect free fatty acid uptake into human adipocytes in vivo: relation to body fat distribution.
We sought to assess whether direct uptake of circulating free fatty acids (FFAs) by adipocytes occurs in vivo in overnight postabsorptive humans and, if so, whether there are regional differences in uptake between lean and obese women and men. We used bolus injections of radiolabeled FFA tracers followed by carefully timed adipose tissue biopsies. First, we validated a method to measure direct ...
متن کاملImpact of obesity on metabolism in men and women. Importance of regional adipose tissue distribution.
The distribution of adipose tissue thickness, fat cell weight (FCW), and number (FCN) were studied in four regions in randomly selected middle-aged men and women and in 930 obese individuals. Both the obese and the randomly selected men were found to have the largest adipose tissue thickness in the abdominal region. Women, however, showed a relative preponderance for the gluteal and femoral reg...
متن کاملRegional Differences in Adipose Tissue Hormone/Cytokine Production Before and After Weight Loss in Abdominally Obese Women
OBJECTIVE To compare the regional differences in subcutaneous adipose tissue hormone/cytokine production in abdominally obese women during weight loss. METHODS Forty-two abdominally obese, older women underwent a 20-week weight loss intervention composed of hypocaloric diet with or without aerobic exercise (total energy expenditure: ∼2800 kcal/week). Subcutaneous (gluteal and abdominal) adipo...
متن کاملRegional differences in adipose tissue metabolism in women: minor effect of obesity and body fat distribution.
Studies comparing adipose tissue metabolism in central versus peripheral fat depots have generated equivocal data. We examined whether regional differences in abdominal subcutaneous and omental adipose tissue metabolism in women exist and whether they persist across the spectrum of body fatness and abdominal adiposity values. We measured adipocyte size; lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity; and ba...
