Adipose Tissue Distribution, Inflammation and Its Metabolic Consequences, Including Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease.

TLDR
The mechanisms by which dysfunctional adipose tissue simultaneously promote T2DM and CVD, focusing on adipose tissues depot-specific adipokines, inflammatory profiles, and metabolism, will be the focus of this review.
Abstract
Adipose tissue plays essential roles in maintaining lipid and glucose homeostasis. To date several types of adipose tissue have been identified, namely white, brown, and beige, that reside in various specific anatomical locations throughout the body. The cellular composition, secretome, and location of these adipose depots define their function in health and metabolic disease. In obesity, adipose tissue becomes dysfunctional, promoting a pro-inflammatory, hyperlipidemic and insulin resistant environment that contributes to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Concurrently, similar features that result from adipose tissue dysfunction also promote cardiovascular disease (CVD) by mechanisms that can be augmented by T2DM. The mechanisms by which dysfunctional adipose tissue simultaneously promote T2DM and CVD, focusing on adipose tissue depot-specific adipokines, inflammatory profiles, and metabolism, will be the focus of this review. The impact that various T2DM and CVD treatment strategies have on adipose tissue function and body weight also will be discussed.

COVID-19 pandemic: the effects of quarantine on cardiovascular risk.

TL;DR: During quarantine, strategies to further increase home-based physical activity and to follow a healthy diet should be implemented and following quarantine a global action supporting healthy diet and physical activity is mandatory to encourage people to return to good lifestyle.

Is Adipose Tissue a Reservoir for Viral Spread, Immune Activation, and Cytokine Amplification in Coronavirus Disease 2019?

TL;DR: New obesity‐driven predictors of poor COVID‐19 outcomes are posited, over and above the more obvious extant risks associated with obesity, including cardiometabolic disease and hypoventilation syndrome in intensive care patients.

Novel Modulator for Endothelial Adhesion Molecules

TL;DR: This in vitro study investigated whether adiponectin could modulate endothelial function and relate to coronary disease and found that it did so.

Adipose-tissue plasticity in health and disease

TL;DR: Adipose tissue is an extraordinarily flexible and heterogeneous organ as discussed by the authors , and it regulates many aspects of whole-body physiology, including food intake, maintenance of energy levels, insulin sensitivity, body temperature, and immune responses.

An obesity-associated gut microbiome with increased capacity for energy harvest

TL;DR: It is demonstrated through metagenomic and biochemical analyses that changes in the relative abundance of the Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes affect the metabolic potential of the mouse gut microbiota and indicates that the obese microbiome has an increased capacity to harvest energy from the diet.

Obesity is associated with macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue

TL;DR: Transcript expression in perigonadal adipose tissue from groups of mice in which adiposity varied due to sex, diet, and the obesity-related mutations agouti (Ay) and obese (Lepob) found that the expression of 1,304 transcripts correlated significantly with body mass.

Microbial ecology: Human gut microbes associated with obesity

TL;DR: It is shown that the relative proportion of Bacteroidetes is decreased in obese people by comparison with lean people, and that this proportion increases with weight loss on two types of low-calorie diet.
