Abstract
Previously characterized as inert fat depots, adipocytes are now recognized as dynamic mediators of inflammatory tone, metabolic health, and nutrient homeostasis. As endocrine organs, specialized depots of adipose tissue engage in crosstalk between the gut, liver, pancreas, and brain to coordinate appetite, thermogenesis, and ultimately body weight. These functions are tightly linked to the inflammatory status of adipose tissue, which is in turn influenced by the health of the gut microbiome. Here, we review recent findings linking specific gut microbes and their secreted factors, including recently identified elements such as bacterial extracellular vesicles, to the functional status of adipocytes. We conclude that further study may generate novel approaches for treating obesity and metabolic disease.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Endocrinology and Metabolism (TEM) stands as a premier Reviews journal in the realms of metabolism and endocrinology. Our commitment is reflected in the publication of refined, concise, and highly impactful articles that delve into cutting-edge topics, encompassing basic, translational, and clinical aspects. From state-of-the-art treatments for endocrine diseases to groundbreaking developments in molecular biology, TEM provides comprehensive coverage.
Explore recent advancements in diabetes, endocrine diseases, obesity, neuroendocrinology, immunometabolism, molecular and cellular biology, and a myriad of other areas through our journal.
TEM serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, lecturers, teachers, and students. Each monthly issue is anchored by Reviews and Opinion articles, with Reviews meticulously chronicling recent and significant developments, often contributed by leading researchers in specific fields. Opinion articles foster debate and hypotheses. Our shorter pieces include Science & Society, shedding light on issues at the intersection of science, society, and policy; Spotlights, which focus on exciting recent developments in the literature, and single-point hypotheses as Forum articles. We wholeheartedly welcome and encourage responses to previously published TEM content in the form of Letters.
