(2003, background): “It will be important in the future to consider other aspects of WAT function in hibernators; there has been a rapid increase in information indicating that the roles of WAT extend beyond its long-appreciated functions in energy storage to larger roles as a major secretory and endocrine organ in ener”

• Ten Putative Contributors to the Obesity Epidemic (2009, positive): “Human and animal models show a role of adipose tissue in secreting pro-inflammatory cytokines ( Maachi et al, 2004 ; Trayhurn et al, 2001 ); however, recent evidence suggests that increased pro-inflammatory cytokines is not a consequence of adiposity in at least some animal models.”
• Beyond BMI: the value of more accurate measures of fatness and obesity in social science research. (2008, positive): “Fat causes Type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease by secreting resistin and leptin (Trayhurn and Beattie, 2001), which suggests that total body fat may be the most relevant measure of fatness for predicting social science outcomes affected by health because the sheer volume of fat may determine”
