...Francesca Mainieri; Francesco Chiarelli Background: Lipodystrophy includes a wide group of diseases characterized by reduction, absence, or altered distribution of adipose tissue. Lipodystrophies are classified into generalized or partial, according to the fat distribution, and congenital...

... visible until early adolescence, its origins are likely much earlier. Therefore, we reviewed the recent literature regarding the mechanisms linking the development of PCOS and obesity in adolescent girls. We found that excess abdominal adipose tissue (AT) initiates metabolic and endocrine aberrations...

Furthermore, this tendency to increasing abdominal fat is independent of adipose tissue mass...

.... Since cortisol is always present, the sex steroids often modify cortisol effects. In adipose tissue, lipoprotein lipase (LPL), in the presence of insulin, is expressed via a glucocorticoid receptor, increasing transcription and stabilizing the enzyme. This process is efficiently inhibited by GH via...

...Joseph M. Gertner The interactions between growth hormone (GH) and adipose tissue can be considered as a cycle: GH is lipolytic and acts to reduce and redistribute body fat; in turn, obesity is characterized by reduced GH output. The effects of GH on adipose tissue have been studied in obese...

These findings of adipose tissue cellularity in GH-deficient children before and after treatment can be explained by results from in vitro studies indicating that GH exerts a variety of effects on the metabolism of mature fat cells and on the proliferation...
