The color of fat and its central role in the development and progression of metabolic diseases

Abstract: Abstract:Excess caloric intake does not always translate to an expansion of the subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and increase in fat mass. It is now recognized that adipocyte type (white, WAT, or brown, BAT), size (large vs. small) and metabolism are important factors for the development of cardiometabolic diseases. When the subcutaneous adipose tissue is not able to expand in response to increased energy intake the excess substrate is stored as visceral adipose tissue or as ectopic fat in tissues as muscle, … Show more

“…differences in the amount and physiological effects of adipocytes accumulated in visceral versus subcutaneous white adipose depots Smith & Kahn, 2016;Gaggini et al, 2017), as well as relative abundance and activity of brown, beige, and white fat in the individual or animal (Chondronikola et al, 2016;Cohen & Spiegelman, 2016;Kusminski et al, 2016). In this study, we have explored the important question as to how much of the effect of adipocytes in different white fat depots might be due to intrinsic differences in adipocytes in these depots, as well as heterogeneity of the white adipocyte population itself.…”

“…Los adipocitos blancos son los más abundantes, son grandes y almacenan grandes gotas de lípidos llenos de triglicéridos localizándose principalmente en el tejido adiposo subcutáneo (SAT, que corresponde aproximadamente al 85% de la grasa total) y el tejido adiposo visceral (VAT). Los adipocitos blancos actúan como almacén de energía y como un órgano endocrino que puede producir y liberar adipocinas como leptina, adiponectina, IL-6, TNFα o proteína quimioatrayente de monocitos tipo 1 (MCP-1) (Gaggini, Carli, and Gastaldelli 2017).…”

“…Se ha sugerido que la activación del BAT podría contribuir al metabolismo lipídico al aumentar la oxidación de grasas y el gasto de energía a través de la producción de calor. Sin embargo, la contribución de BAT al gasto de energía total en humanos es leve, considerando el tamaño de este depósito (Gaggini, Carli, and Gastaldelli 2017).…”
