. Consequence of insulin resistance and ectopic deposition of lipids, several diseases stem from obesity, such as stroke and other cardiovascular conditions, type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis and some types of cancer ( Goossens 2017 ). White adipose tissue (WAT

Introduction Brown adipose tissue (BAT) contributes to the control of body temperature by the production of heat in response to cold. Brown adipocytes have numerous mitochondria that contain uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Activation of brown

gender on offspring outcomes ( Aiken & Ozanne 2013 ). Alterations in the genes regulating adipose tissue proliferation, differentiation, metabolism and signalling are likely to be integral to the development of an obese phenotype, while circulating lipid

Introduction The major energy reserve in mammals consists of fat stored in adipose tissue (AT). In periods of excess energy intake, dietary lipids are taken up by fat cells (adipocytes) in AT and esterified into triglycerides (TGs), which are stored

Introduction In obesity, there is an increased amount of macrophages in the adipose tissue (AT), which is associated with low-grade inflammation and insulin resistance ( Weisberg et al . 2003 , Dandona et al . 2004 ). CD163 is a membrane

Introduction A chronic low-grade inflammatory state of adipose tissue has been implicated in the development of insulin resistance in non-pregnant (NP) obese subjects ( Weisberg et al . 2003 , Xu et al . 2003 ). Adipocytes in obesity increase
