Adiopocyte Biology and Hormone Signalling

This book emphasizes the molecular regulation of lipid biogenesis in the context of adipocyte metabolism, differentiation, gene expression, hormone and growth signaling. Many disciplines such as genetics, cell biology and biochemistry are merging to provide a more detailed understanding of the dynamic role that the fat cell plays in metabolism, disease and signaling. Prominent biochemists, molecular biologists and endocrinologists have written chapters for this book.
