Adipose Tissue

This book provides a comprehensive overview ofadipose tissue as an endocrine organ and examines its complex biology and clinical significance. It explores theinteraction between adipose tissue and various physiological systems and sheds light onhow adipose dysfunction contributes tothepathogenesis ofmetabolic diseases that affect millions ofpeople worldwide. It aims toclarify how theendocrine functions ofadipose tissue maintain health and contribute tovarious metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. With obesity rates escalating globally, understanding therole ofadipose tissue and its clinical implications has become critical. Adipose Tissue: Endocrine Functions, Health Implications, and Future Perspectivescovers topics ranging frombasic science toits clinical significance. It provides a comprehensive view of the clinical manifestations of adipose tissue dysfunction, such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. Thebook demonstrates theclinical complications associated withadipose tissue dysfunctions and theimportance ofearly detection and intervention. Cutting-edge advancements in adipose tissue research technology and, more importantly, how these findings can translate intoclinical practice are discussed, thus offering novel perspectives forfuture therapeutic strategies. This timely and relevant book targets medical practitioners, clinical researchers, basic scientists, students, and everyone interested in understanding thecomplex biology ofthehuman body and how a tissue once seen as mere fat storage is now attheforefront ofendocrine research and therapy.
