We describe a simple cell isolation device that allows the separation and sequential collection of fat cells as they are released from adipose tissue fragments exposed to a collagenase preparation. This is done without interrupting the digestion process. Use of the device allows for appreciable lowering of the degree of cell damage and the extent to which larger cells are ruptured during the isolation process. Fat cells isolated by this technique elicit a higher level of metabolic activity as reflected by their improved response to the lipolytic action of epinephrine.

The utilization of plant-derived exosome-like nanovesicles (ELNs) as nanocarriers for oral delivery of bioactives has garnered significant attention. However, their distinctive lipid membrane composition may result in elevated membrane permeability within the gastrointestinal environment, leading to the leakage of carried bioactives. Inspired by the concept of projectile design, Tartary buckwheat-derived ELNs (TB-ELNs) based dual-carriers are fabricated by loading chlorogenic acid (CGA) into the cores and bonding selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) to the lipid membrane.

Obesity is linked to cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, lowering quality of life, work productivity, and healthcare expenditures. The aim of this present study is to investigate the mechanism of potato protein (PP) post-treatment in regulating lipogenesis and lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 9% PP hydrolysed for 2 h (PPH902) shows high yield and better activity; thus, PPH902 was used in all other experiments.

Background And Aims: The transcription factor sex-determining region Y-related high-mobility group-box gene 9 (SOX9) plays a critical role in organ development. Although SOX9 has been implicated in regulating lipid metabolism , its specific role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) remains poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the role of SOX9 in MASH pathogenesis and explored the underlying mechanisms.

Background And Aims: Notch1 protein plays a significant role in hepatic metabolism, as evidenced by its correlation with insulin resistance in the livers of obese individuals, making it an intriguing research target. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of aerobic exercise on Notch1 pathways in the hepatic tissue of obese mice and its role in controlling hepatic metabolism.
Methods: Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study utilising liver biopsies from lean and obese humans, as well as an intervention study involving mice subjected to a high-fat diet.

Insulin resistance is a common metabolic disease, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. The decrease of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level mediated by the alteration of gut microbiota may be the pathogenesis. The study was to investigate the regulatory effect of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on GLP-1 level and insulin resistance induced by high-fat diet (HFD), and to further explore its possible molecular mechanism.
