Fasting upregulates PPARγ in adipocyte AMPK activated Adipose Structure and Function There are two categories of human adipose tissue, subcutaneous adipose tissue (SCAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT). Adipose tissue can be further classified as white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). Adipose is composed of adipocytes, pre-adipocytes, fibroblasts, and immune cells. A vascular network runs through adipose while nerves innervate the tissue as well. Adipocytes found in WAT contain
and overexpression of Extracellular Matrix (EMC) protein and fibrosis of the skin, lungs, and other internal organs. This study looks at different molecules that play important roles in the biological pathways in Scleroderma. Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor-gamma (PPAR-ᵞ) is involved in regulation of fibrosis and adipogenesis in SSc. PPAR-γ has been found to be low in several cell types in SSc patients and African American (AA) donors. It is believed that healthy AA donor’s monocytes
Introduction Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions. But it also contains highly organized physical structures which are called intracellular organelles. These organelles are important for cellular function. For instance Mitochondria is the one of most important organelle of the cell. Without
INTRODUCTION NERVOUS SYSTEM The?nervous system?is the part of human body that coordinates the voluntary and involuntary actions of the human and transmits signals between different parts of its body.?The nervous system is our processing system, and the system that keeps us in contact with the outside world. It tells us that we exist, and along with the muscles allows us to move and react to stimuli. Our consciousness resides in our nervous systems, as do our thoughts and emotions. In short, the
