Abstract: In recent years, adipose tissue is no longer considered as being merely the reserves of fat in the body; rather it is considered as an endocrine organ. An excess of fat promotes the production and secretion of many adipocytokines and other substances, which participate in the regulation of energy in local and general fat stores in the body.
