Abstract
Adipose tissue has been viewed as the primary source of stored energy, but with the discovery of novel adipose tissue gene products, i.e., adipokines, another equally important role has emerged. Adipose tissue is a key endocrine organ involved in multiple processes, including glucose homeostasis, steroid production, immunoregulation, hematopoesis, and reproduction. The distribution of adipose tissue may also have a significant impact on reproductive function. Copyright (c) 2010 American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Published by Elsevier Inc.
