M Nishida, T Funahashi, I Shimomura - Medical Molecular Morphology, 2007 - Springer Abstract Adipose tissue, which classically has been consid- ered as an energy-storing
organ, is now viewed as a massive source of bioactive substances such as leptin, tumor necrosis
factor (TNF)-α, and adiponectin. Adiponectin was discov- ered to be the most abundant ... Cited by 41 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 3 versions
