Secretion of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), a duodenal hormone, is primarily induced by
absorption of ingested fat. Here we describe a novel pathway of obesity promotion via GIP. …

White adipocytes are unique in that they contain large unilocular lipid droplets that occupy
most of the cytoplasm. To identify genes involved in the maintenance of mature adipocytes, …

In adipocytes, hydrolysis of triglycerides results in the release of free fatty acids and glycerol.
Aquaporin 7 (AQP7), a member of aquaglyceroporins, is known to permeabilize glycerol …

Skeletal muscle regeneration and work-induced hypertrophy rely on molecular events
responsible for activation and quiescence of resident myogenic stem cells, satellite cells. Recent …

When skeletal muscle is stretched or injured, myogenic satellite cells are activated to enter
the cell cycle. This process depends on nitric oxide (NO) production, release of hepatocyte …

Skeletal muscle comprises several fiber types classified based on their contractile and
metabolic properties. Skeletal muscle fiber types are classified according to their myosin heavy …

Regenerative coordination and remodeling of the intramuscular motoneuron network and
neuromuscular connections are critical for restoring skeletal muscle function and physiological …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is implicated as a molecular mediator for adult
neurogenesis and behavioral effects of antidepressant drugs. However, these potential roles of …

When skeletal muscle is stretched or injured, myogenic satellite cells are activated to enter
the cell cycle. This process depends on nitric oxide (NO) production, release of hepatocyte …

Skeletal muscle is the main tissue of lipid metabolism and accordingly is critical for homeostasis
and energy production; however, the determinants of lipid accumulation in skeletal …
