title: [Behavior of adipose tissue cellularity in gross obesity].
abstract: Adipose tissue cellularity was studied in relation to the degree of obesity. It was found that mild obesity is essentially linked to a simple increase in adipocyte size, whereas gross obesity involves considerable hyperplasia of adipose tissue with at least twice the normal number of adipocytes. Prognostic and therapeutic conclusions are drawn from these personal data.
