The G0/G1 switch gene 2 (G0S2) protein attenuated adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) activity and decreased lipolysis in rodent and human adipocytes. We hypothesized that G0S2 mRNA expression in human adipose tissue is influenced by depot, adipocyte size, body weight and caloric intake. Adipose tissue samples were obtained during abdominal surgery and by needle biopsy before and 3 h after an extended glucose load in lean subjects. G0S2 mRNA was 7× higher expressed in mature human adipocytes compared to the stromavascular fraction. Cell size inversely correlated with G0S2 mRNA expression in both, subcutaneous and omental adipose depots. G0S2 mRNA expression was 75% higher in subcutaneous compared to omental adipose tissue. Obesity was associated with lower G0S2 mRNA expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Acute glucose ingestion after an overnight fast did not significantly increase G0S2 expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue. In conclusion, differences in G0S2 expression may explain depot-specific and obesity-associated differences in lipolysis on the molecular level.

Short-Term Assessment of High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) Changes Following One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) in Patients with Obesity: A Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Obesity, characterized by excessive adipose tissue, is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and elevated inflammatory markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP). This inflammation is linked to obesity-associated medical problems, including cardiovascular diseases. One anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) has emerged as an effective metabolic and bariatric surgical procedure to address severe obesity and its associated inflammatory state.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a metabolic disorder related to obesity and insulin resistance and is the primary determinant of the development of low-intensity chronic inflammation. This continuous inflammatory response culminates in neuroimmune-endocrine dysregulation responsible for the metabolic abnormalities and morbidities observed in individuals with MetS. Events such as the accumulation of visceral adipose tissue, increased plasma concentrations of free fatty acids, tissue hypoxia, and sympathetic hyperactivity in individuals with MetS may contribute to the activation of the innate immune response, which compromises cerebral microcirculation and the neurovascular unit, leading to the onset or progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Background: Obese subjects undergoing weight loss often fear the Yoyo dieting effect, which involves regaining or even surpassing their initial weight. To date, our understanding of such long-term obesity and weight cycling effects is still limited and often based on only short-term murine weight gain and loss studies. This study aimed to investigate the long-term impacts of weight cycling on glycemic control and metabolic health, focusing on adipose tissue, liver, and hypothalamus.

Background: This research aims to explore the anti-obesity potential of Wu-Mei-Wan (WMW), particularly its effects on adipose tissue regulation in obese mice induced by a high-fat diet (HFD). The study focuses on understanding the role of heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) in mediating these effects.

Methods: HFD-induced obese mice were treated with WMW.
