A total of 203 children included in a study of feeding practices and weight in infancy were reviewed four to five years later. Although in infancy 28 (14%) of the children were obese and a further 52 (26%) overweight, in childhood most were of normal weight and fatness, with only 5 (2-5%) obese and 22 (11%) overweight, Three of the five obese children were also obese as infants, but only one in nine obese infants was obese at 5 years. Weight in infancy does not necessarily indicate later body size. Tall stature of the children was probably related to their socioeconomic environment. 相似文献

White fat from the newt, Triturus pyrrhogaster, fat body, and brown fat from the interscapular fat pad of newborn mice have been tested for the presence of low-resistance intercellular junctions. 42 pairs of amphibian fat cells and 15 pairs of mammalian brown fat cells were found to be "electrically coupled." In most of these cases intracellular deposition of a dye, Niagara Sky Blue: 6B, was used to supplement and confirm direct observations of impalements. Coupling was often difficult to find in both preparations, but the mechanical disturbance of the tissue during the preparative procedures may have uncoupled many cells. The fact that, in both types of fat, coupling was observed between cells separated by one or more other cells suggests that coupling may be more widespread in vivo. Electron microscopy (provided by Dr. J. -P. Revel and Mrs. K. Wolken) of the brown fat revealed frequent intercellular junctions resembling "gap junctions" but possibly lacking the substructure usually visible with colloidal lanthanum infiltration. The results are discussed in relation to current ideas about the exchange of regulatory molecules via low-resistance junctions and about the control of brown fat by hormones and nerves. 相似文献

Adenovirus-mediated transfer of the leptin gene causes severe hyperleptinemia with rapid disappearance of visible body fat. To determine if this dramatic lipopenic action is mediated by neurotransmitted signals from the central nervous system, we transplanted the right epididymal fat pad of normal rats to the anterior abdominal wall. Four weeks later, rats were infused with either adenovirus-leptin cDNA (AdCMV-leptin) or adenovirus-beta-galactosidase (AdCMV-beta-gal). Eight days later, plasma leptin averaged 23 +/- 12 ng/ml in the former and 1.2 +/- 0.4 ng/ml in the latter. The fat transplant was intact in all 4 AdCMV-beta-gal-infused rats but had disappeared in all 4 hyperleptinemic rats. Tyrosine hydroxylase staining of the fat pad remnant was negative, excluding regrowth of sympathetic nerves. Thus, the lipopenic action of severe hyperleptinemia on adipocytes is not mediated by neurotransmitters, but must have resulted either from direct action of leptin and/or from leptin-mediated neurohormones. 相似文献

The burgeoning obesity and metabolic disease epidemics in the developed world are exerting a terrible toll on society, yet the precise mechanisms responsible for the emergence of these dramatic trends over a relatively short period of time remain poorly understood. Philip A.Wood's book How Fat Works provides important insights into cellular lipid metabolism, as well as discussing some of the important external contributors to the development of human obesity. The foundation provided by this book allows for the exploration of how body fat has gone from hero during the millennia when starvation was the paramount nutritional risk to its current role as villain in our period of caloric excess. With the incredible personal and societal costs brought about by excess body weight, a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms responsible for obesity is fundamentally necessary if we are to reverse these dire trends. Here, we delve deeper into some of the forces contributing to the obesity epidemic and discuss some individual measures as well as public policy decisions that may help reverse weight trends, while specifically focusing on the growing problem of pediatric obesity. 相似文献

Fatty acid synthase effects on bovine adipose fat and milk fat 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Chris A. Morris Neil G. Cullen Belinda C. Glass Dianne L. Hyndman Tim R. Manley Sharon M. Hickey John C. McEwan Wayne S. Pitchford Cynthia D.K. Bottema Michael A.H. Lee 《Mammalian genome》2007,18(1):64-74
A quantitative trait locus (QTL) was identified by linkage analysis on bovine Chromosome 19 that affects the fatty acid, myristic
acid (C14:0), in subcutaneous adipose tissue of pasture-fed beef cattle (99% level: experiment-wise significance). The QTL
was also shown to have significant effects on ten fatty acids in the milk fat of pasture-fed dairy cattle. A positional candidate
gene for this QTL was identified as fatty acid synthase (FASN), which is a multifunctional enzyme with a central role in the metabolism of lipids. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) were identified in the bovine FASN gene, and animals were genotyped for FASN SNPs in three different cattle resource populations. Linkage and association mapping results using these SNPs were consistent
with FASN being the gene underlying the QTL. SNP substitution effects for C14:0 percentage were found to have an effect in the opposite
direction in adipose fat to that in milk fat. It is concluded that SNPs in the bovine FASN gene are associated with variation in the fatty acid composition of adipose fat and milk fat. 相似文献

In adults, the size of the left atria (LA) has important prognostic information. In obese adults, adolescents and children enlargement of LA have been observed. This has not been investigated on a population-based level in young children. We therefore assessed if total body fat mass (TBF), abdominal fat, and body fat distribution were related to LA diameter. Cross-sectional study of 244 children (boys = 137 and girls n = 107) aged 8-11 years, recruited from an urban population-based cohort. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured total lean body mass, TBF, and abdominal fat mass (AFM). Body fat was also calculated as a percentage of body mass (BF%). Body fat distribution (AFM/TBF) was calculated. Echocardiography was performed with two-dimensional guided M-mode. LA diameter was measured and left ventricular mass (LVM) was calculated. Systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure were measured and maturity assessed according to Tanner. There were significant (P < 0.05) univariate correlations for all children between TBF (r = 0.40), BF% (r = 0.32), AFM (r = 0.41), and AFM/TBF (r = 0.41) vs. LA diameter. Multiple regression analyses with the inclusion of possible confounders such as lean body mass, blood pressure, gender, age, and Tanner stage revealed that TBF, AFM, and AFM/TBF were all independently related to LA diameter. Differences in the different body fat measurements explained 6-9% of the variance in LA size. These results demonstrated that both total body fat, AFM, and body fat distribution are already at a young age negatively and independently associated to LA diameter. 相似文献

To obtain immature fat cells in vitro, we used a primary culture of undigested mature fat tissue fragments. The immature fat cells, i.e., fibroblast-like fat cells, proliferated extensively from the fat tissue and differentiated after reaching confluence. The process of differentiation was assumed by the development of intracytoplasmic lipid droplets and by the triglyceride content in the cells. Cellular differentiation was induced in high percentages (over 70-80%) of the cells in the medium containing high glucose concentrations (200 mg/dl) supplemented with 10-20% newborn calf serum. The intracellular accumulation of triglyceride was also enhanced by insulin administration. In these cells, a reciprocal relationship was observed between proliferation and differentiation. Fibroblast-like fat cells derived from mature fat tissue in this simple culture system are suitable for the study of the proliferation and differentiation of immature fat cells. 相似文献

Pericardial fat is a localized fat depot associated with coronary artery calcium and myocardial infarction. We hypothesized that genetic loci would be associated with pericardial fat independent of other body fat depots. Pericardial fat was quantified in 5,487 individuals of European ancestry from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) and the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Genotyping was performed using standard arrays and imputed to ~2.5 million Hapmap SNPs. Each study performed a genome-wide association analysis of pericardial fat adjusted for age, sex, weight, and height. A weighted z-score meta-analysis was conducted, and validation was obtained in an additional 3,602 multi-ethnic individuals from the MESA study. We identified a genome-wide significant signal in our primary meta-analysis at rs10198628 near TRIB2 (MAF 0.49, p = 2.7 × 10(-08)). This SNP was not associated with visceral fat (p = 0.17) or body mass index (p = 0.38), although we observed direction-consistent, nominal significance with visceral fat adjusted for BMI (p = 0.01) in the Framingham Heart Study. Our findings were robust among African ancestry (n = 1,442, p = 0.001), Hispanic (n = 1,399, p = 0.004), and Chinese (n = 761, p = 0.007) participants from the MESA study, with a combined p-value of 5.4E-14. We observed TRIB2 gene expression in the pericardial fat of mice. rs10198628 near TRIB2 is associated with pericardial fat but not measures of generalized or visceral adiposity, reinforcing the concept that there are unique genetic underpinnings to ectopic fat distribution. 相似文献
