Fat tissue metabolism and adrenal steroid secretion

Abstract

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in Western societies, contributing to metabolic diseases, hypertension, and vascular diseases. White adipose tissue has traditionally been regarded merely as lipid, and consequently, as energy storage. However, recent data revealed the importance of adipose tissue as a highly active endocrine organ and its involvement in the body's metabolism and homeostasis. Obesity is associated with several endocrine disorders, including adrenocortical malfunction. Because of the central role of adrenal function in the body's homeostasis, adrenal malfunction is important in the development of other obesity-related abnormalities. Therefore, in this short review, we summarize recent data on obesity-induced changes in adrenocortical mineralocorticoid, glucocorticoid, and androgen secretions and their consequences for metabolism.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Mineralocorticoid receptors on adipocytes promote inflammatory adipokine expression, leading to lower insulin receptor expression and impaired insulin-induced glucose uptake.

    “MRs on adipocytes promoted the expression of inflammatory adipokines (-), giving rise to lower insulin receptor expression and impaired insulin-induced glucose uptake ().”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
