The study of adipose tissue is directly related to our understanding of obesity and clinically important diseases in developed countries, in particular diabetes and cardiovascular disease.This unique 2 Volume Set presents a comprehensive overview of adipose tissue in health and disease, covering all different aspects of the topic. The volumes are an essential resource on a topic vital for fighting the worldwide obesity epidemic. The first volume describes in detail the adipose tissue development and morphology before moving on to metabolic functions of adipose tissue. The secondvolume focuses on the endocrine functions and closes with the comparative andevolutionary aspects of adipose tissue.
