The plasma membrane (PM) is a dynamic interface that integrates environmental cues with cellular responses. Insulin is known to remodel the PM primarily by stimulating the translocation of glucose tra
SGBS cells were used as a model system to investigate the cellular mode of action of a variety of plasticizers in human adipocytes. In brief, cells were cultured at 5% CO2 and 37°C in 95% humidity. Ce
Adipose tissue is a primary regulator of energy balance and metabolism. The distribution of adipose tissue depots is of clinical interest because the accumulation of upper-body subcutaneous (ASAT) and
Mice and other small mammals heavily rely on UCP1-mediated non-shivering thermogenesis in the cold, and thus the unexpected cold resistance of UCP1-knockout (UCP1KO) mice has always been and still is
