We examined human adipose tissue, liver, and bile from humans in Japan to understand the contamination status, specific accumulation, and elimination of two newly identified environmental contaminants, tris(4-chlorophenyl)methane (TCPMe), tris(4-chlorophenyl)methanol (TCPMOH), and other persistent organochlorines such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and chlordane compounds (CHLs). TC...

Specific accumulation and elimination kinetics of tris(4-chlorophenyl)methane, tris(4-chlorophenyl) methanol, and other persistent organochlorines in humans from Japan. (Articles).
Environmental Health Perspectives ; We examined human adipose tissue, liver, and bile from humans in Japan to understand the contamination status, specific accumulation, and elimination of two newly identified environmental contaminants, tris(4-chlorophenyl)methane (TCPMe), tris(4-chlorophenyl)methanol (TCPMOH), and other persistent
Arachidonic Acid in Adipose Tissue Is Associated with Nonfatal Acute Myocardial Infarction in the Central Valley of Costa Rica1
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT Arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor of prothrombotic eicosanoids, is potentially atherogenic, but epidemiologic data are scarce. We evaluated the hypothesis that increased AA in adipose tissue is associated with increased risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (MI), and if so, whether
Somatotropin regulates adipose tissue metabolism in neonatal swine
The Journal of Nutrition ; Somatotropin Regulates Adipose Tissue Metabolism in Neonatal Swine1'2'3 ABSTRACT Somatotropin (ST) reduces lipid deposition in growing and adult animals, but its effect in neonatal pigs is not clear. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that ST inhibits lipid deposition in neonatal pig adipose
Adipose tissue as an endocrine organ.(Tips)
American Family Physician ; Adipose tissue has active metabolic properties that contribute to the clinical effects of obesity. The contents of adipose tissue (including adipocytes, connective tissue matrix, nerve tissue, immune cells, stromovascular cells, and immune cells) work together to respond to multiple body signals by
Stereospecific incorporation of palmitoyl, oleoyl and linoleoyl moieties into adipose tissue triacylglycerols of rats results in constant sn-1:sn-2:sn-3 in rats fed...
The Journal of Nutrition ; Nutrient Metabolism ABSTRACT We report the stereospecific (sn-1, sn-2, sn-3) distribution of fatty acids in subcutaneous adipose tissue triacylglycerols of male weaned Wistar rats fed either a standard diet or diets containing, in addition to 20 g corn oil/kg feed, 120 g/kg feed, each, of
Trans Fatty Acids in Adipose Tissue and the Food Supply Are Associated with Myocardial Infarction1,2
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT Metabolic studies have clearly shown that trans fatty acids (TFAs) elevate LDL and lower HDL cholesterol. Epidemiologic studies showed a relation between TFA intake and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), but studies examining adipose tissue TFAs have not uniformly confirmed this. We
Prepartum protein restriction does not alter norepinephrine-induced thermogenesis or brown adipose tissue function in newborn calves
The Journal of Nutrition ; Prepartum Protein Restriction Does Not After Norepinephrine-Induced Thermogenesis or Brown Adipose Tissue Function in Newborn Calves1,2,3 Gail S. Martin, Gordon E. Carstens, Travis L. Taylor, Craig R. Sweat, Alana G. Eli, David K. Lunt* and Stephen B. Smith4 ABSTRACT We examined the effect of
Relationship between human adipose tissue agouti and fatty acid synthase (FAS)
The Journal of Nutrition ; Relationship between Human Adipose Tissue Agouti and Fatty Acid Synthase (FAS)1,2 ABSTRACT The human homologue of the murine obesity gene, agouti, is expressed in adipose tissue. We have shown that recombinant agouti protein regulates adipocyte lipogenesis and lipolysis coordinately and promotes
Some Dietary and Adipose Tissue Carotenoids Are Associated with the Risk of Nonfatal Acute Myocardial Infarction in Costa Rica1,2
The Journal of Nutrition ; ABSTRACT Antioxidants, particularly carotenoids and tocopherols, may protect against cardiovascular disease. The objective of this study was to determine whether dietary and adipose tissue carotenoids and tocopherols are associated with the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Cases (n = 1456) of a
Dietary fish oil increases lipid mobilization but does not decrease lipid storage-related enzyme activities in adipose tissue of insulin-resistant, sucrose-fed rats1,2
The Journal of Nutrition ; Manuscript received 5 December 2002. Initial review completed 10 January 2003. Revision accepted 11 February 2003. ABSTRACT Fish oil feeding has been shown to limit visceral fat accumulation in insulin-resistant rats. Our goal was to determine whether this finding is due to increased fat
