Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Enzyme
  • Gene

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Adipose tissue, Adipocyte and Lipolysis. White adipose tissue, Receptor, Adrenergic receptor, Proinflammatory cytokine and Insulin resistance are among the areas of Internal medicine where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His work carried out in the field of Endocrinology brings together such families of science as Endothelial stem cell and Yohimbine.

His Adipose tissue study combines topics in areas such as Inflammation, Microdialysis, Insulin and Atrial natriuretic peptide. The various areas that he examines in his Adipocyte study include Progenitor cell, Hormone-sensitive lipase, Cell signaling and Adipokine. His Lipolysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Agonist, NPR2 and Protein kinase A.

His most cited work include:

  • Leptin, the Product of Ob Gene, Promotes Angiogenesis (643 citations)
  • Leptin induces oxidative stress in human endothelial cells (587 citations)
  • Fat cell adrenergic receptors and the control of white and brown fat cell function. (558 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Max Lafontan mainly focuses on Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Adipose tissue, Lipolysis and Adipocyte. The concepts of his Endocrinology study are interwoven with issues in Agonist, Receptor and Adrenergic receptor. His research in the fields of Beta-3 adrenergic receptor overlaps with other disciplines such as Population.

The Adipose tissue study combines topics in areas such as Inflammation, Lipid metabolism and Adipokine, Insulin resistance. His research on Lipolysis also deals with topics like

  • Catecholamine that connect with fields like Sympathetic nervous system,
  • Yohimbine together with Idazoxan and Radioligand. In general Adipocyte study, his work on Perilipin often relates to the realm of Peptide YY, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Endocrinology (88.93%)
  • Internal medicine (88.93%)
  • Adipose tissue (58.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2004-2017)?

  • Endocrinology (88.93%)
  • Internal medicine (88.93%)
  • Adipose tissue (58.61%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Endocrinology, Internal medicine, Adipose tissue, Lipolysis and Adipocyte. His Inflammation research extends to Endocrinology, which is thematically connected. When carried out as part of a general Internal medicine research project, his work on Overweight, Lipid mobilization and Lipid metabolism is frequently linked to work in Lipid oxidation, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

His Adipose tissue research integrates issues from Proinflammatory cytokine, Adipokine, Insulin resistance and Energy homeostasis. His Lipolysis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Norepinephrine, Protein kinase A, Epinephrine, Adrenergic receptor and Adenylyl cyclase. While the research belongs to areas of Adipocyte, Max Lafontan spends his time largely on the problem of Adipogenesis, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Cell biology.

Between 2004 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Lipolysis and lipid mobilization in human adipose tissue (515 citations)
  • Lipolysis and lipid mobilization in human adipose tissue (515 citations)
  • Remodeling Phenotype of Human Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Macrophages (284 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine
  • Gene

His scientific interests lie mostly in Adipose tissue, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Adipocyte and Lipolysis. His research in Adipose tissue intersects with topics in Inflammation, Proinflammatory cytokine and Adipokine, Insulin resistance. He interconnects T cell, CD8 and Interferon gamma in the investigation of issues within Endocrinology.

His work deals with themes such as Progenitor cell, Nutrigenomics, Transgene and Gene expression profiling, which intersect with Adipocyte. His studies deal with areas such as Microdialysis and Blood pressure as well as Atrial natriuretic peptide. His Perilipin research incorporates themes from Hormone metabolism, Lipid droplet and Adipose triglyceride lipase.
