Duodenal-jejunal bypass reduces lipid accumulation in the brown adipose tissue of hypothalamic obese rats

ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 33 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Thermogenic activity in the brown adipose tissue (BAT) of obese individuals is reduced, and this condition may be modified by bariatric surgery (BS). Aim: To characterize fat deposition in BAT from hypothalamic obese (HyO) rats submitted to duodenal-jejunal-bypass (DJB) surgery. ...

The role of adiponectin in ischemia-reperfusion syndrome: a literature review

ABSTRACT Adiponectin, among other diverse adipokines, is produced in greater quantity and has an effect on the adipose tissue and other tissues in the body. Adiponectin plays three main roles: regulatory metabolic and sensitizing function of insulin in the liver and muscles; it acts as an anti-inflammato...
