title: Cross talk between adipose tissue cells: impact on pathophysiology.
abstract: The metabolic functionality of adipose tissue is intimately dependent on local communication between various cell types. It influences not only the equilibrium between lipogenesis and lipolysis but also between hypertrophic and hyperplastic growth, thereby determining the role adipose tissue plays in the insulin resistance syndrome.
