Waisted: The Biology of Body Fat outlines the fascinating, often misunderstood and sometimes controversial biology of fat, otherwise known as adipose tissue. It provides a comprehensive, evidence-based perspective on fat biology and its crucial role in human evolution, health, d…
Published in 1981: The main topic of the book is the growth of white adipose tissue as a whole as well as the level of the local fat depots.
Adipose tissue biology
Annotation 'Adipose Tissue Biology' provides comprehensive insight into current perspectives and challenges in the field. Both scientists and clinicians discuss topics like adipocyte precursors, differentiation and growth, brown and white adipose tissue, and more.
This book is designed to provide a comprehensive insight into current perspectives and challenges in adipose tissue biology. In "Adipose Tissue Biology," scientists and clinicians discuss adipocyte precursors, differentiation and growth, brown and white adipose tissue, gender, i…

Obesity is one of the relevant public health concerns and it is evident that body weight control is achieved through highly integrated physiological interactions like nutrient selection. Presenting an account of the roles of specific peptides in energy balance, this title provid…
All organisms must prioritize investment in either reproductive or self-maintenance activities. Despite this established paradigm, our understanding of how organisms choose to prioritize certain behaviors and physiologies over others remains limited. It is likely that an organis…
The overall aim of the work presented in this thesis was to further characterise aspects of metabolic and immune system cross-talk in human subcutaneous adipose tissue, with a particular emphasis on the potential role of T-lymphocytes in adipose tissue dysfunction and insulin re…
