Liraglutide induced browning of visceral white adipose through regulation of miRNAs in high-fat-diet-induced obese mice
ObjectiveObesity is characterized by excessive accumulation of white adipose tissue (WAT). Conversely, brown adipose tissue is protective against...

Obese visceral fat tissue inflammation: from protective to detrimental?
Obesity usually is accompanied by inflammation of fat tissue, with a prominent role of visceral fat. Chronic inflammation in obese fat tissue is of a...
