The rapid increase in obesity and the associated health care costs have prompted a search
for better approaches for its prevention and management. Such efforts may be facilitated by …

OBJECTIVE— Based on rodent studies, we examined the hypothesis that increased adipose
tissue (AT) mass in obesity without an adequate support of vascularization might lead to …

Objectives: Basic science studies show that the extracellular matrix of adipose tissue, mainly
represented by collagen VI, is dysfunctional in obesity and contributes to the development …

In mammals, nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) is responsible for the first
and rate-limiting step in the conversion of nicotinamide to nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (…

Context: Obesity and type 2 diabetes are associated with elevated intramyocellular lipids (IMCLs)
and insulin resistance. Objective: We tested the hypothesis that skeletal muscle …

Objective: Human adenovirus 36 (Ad‐36) increases adiposity and reduces serum lipids in
chicken, mouse, and non‐human primate models, and it is linked to obesity in sero‐…

Faculty dissatisfaction with diminishing levels of student engagement in lifestyle medicine
sessions prompted this exploratory project that compared differences in students’ substantive …

The clinical presentation of diabetes sometimes overlaps, contributing to ambiguity in the
diagnosis. Thus, circulating pancreatic islet-enriched microRNAs (miRNAs) might be useful …

Background Black and Latinx patients bear a disproportionate burden of asthma. Efforts to
reduce the disproportionate morbidity have been mostly unsuccessful, and guideline …

Human adenovirus Ad-36 is causatively and correlatively linked with animal and human
obesity, respectively. Ad-36 enhances differentiation of rodent preadipocytes, but its effect on …
