Cellulite is a topographic alteration of the skin and subcutaneous adipose that has been reported as early as 150 years ago but yet still affects patients today. It is quite prevalent‚ almost ubiquitous in postpubertal women and can be thought of as a female secondary sex characteristic.1 Cellulite formation has a complex

the four tissue types found in the human body. Describe an example of each type with their function and location. The four main tissues in the human body are connective‚ epithelium‚ muscle and nervous tissue. Connective tissue is an abundant nonliving extracellular matrix‚ located throughout the human body; such as the head‚ tendons‚ bone‚ and many more. It is the most widespread tissue in the human body and is the most durable tissue type. There are so many functions for this tissue‚ that it

Unit 5 : P2 Connective Tissue Connective tissue is made up of a number of layers formed together and there are different types of connective tissue. These are: 1. Aerolar 2. Adipose 3. Fibrous 4.

Some examples of the uses of this tissue type are storing fat‚ repairing tissue damage and protecting us against diseases. Muscle Tissue This tissue is made up of a large number

Adipokines Felician College Adipokines and their effects on cardiovascular disease Adipocytes release hormones and other molecules that act on nearby tissues and travel through the vasculature to distant sites‚ such as the brain‚ skeletal muscle‚ and liver (Stehno-Bittel‚ 2008‚ p.1). Under conditions of normal weight‚ those signals help the body to suppress hunger‚ utilize glucose‚ and decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease (Stehno-Bittel‚ 2008‚ p.1). However‚ under

The Atkins’ diet helps in weight loss and increases health benefits. It is based on lowering of carbohydrate intake to increase metabolism and body efficiency. This diet usually causes the body to use adipose tissue‚ or fat‚ for energy instead of the alternative glucose. If the dieter follows through with the diet with daily exercise‚ the person should experience steady weight loss. Some low-fat diets have taken the stand against the low-carbohydrate claim. It expresses that followers of low- fat

events can occur‚ 1) it is metabolized faster than glucose and 2) since fructose is independent of phosphofructose kinase (PFK) regulation‚ overconsumption of fructose (>40g in a 2000 calorie diet)‚ results in increases of levels of visceral adipose tissue (VAT)‚ and increased hepatic lipid levels from de nova lipogenesis. This reaction results in increased very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) synthesis and secreation.4 The over consumption of fructose might be explained by the insufficient signaling

Our body fat includes essential fats‚ such as lipids‚ and nonessential body fats‚ these fats make up around five percent of total body weight for men and up to 12 percent for women. Nonessential fat is found mainly within fat cells and adipose tissue‚ below the skin and surrounding major organs. The amount of nonessential fat stored in
