Body composition impacts female fertility and there are established relationships between
adipose tissue and the reproductive system. Maintaining functional adipose tissue is vital for …

Adipose tissue has been viewed as the primary source of stored energy, but with the
discovery of novel adipose tissue gene products, ie, adipokines, another equally important …

It is well known that adipose tissue can influence puberty, sexual maturation, and fertility in
different species. Adipose tissue secretes molecules called adipokines which most likely …

Reproductive function declines at both extremes of human energy balance. The relationship
between obesity and reproductive function is complex and incompletely understood. The …

The understanding of adipose tissue role has evolved from that of a depot energy storage
organ to a dynamic endocrine organ. While genetics, sexual phenotype and sex steroids …

Obesity is a highly prevalent chronic disease that impacts over 40% of reproductive-aged
females. The pathophysiology of obesity is complex and can be understood simply as a …

The prevalence of obesity is high among reproductive-age women and is associated with
impaired reproductive function. Obesity is multifactorial in origin, yet many cases of obesity …

Adipose tissue is a complex and multi-faceted organ. It responds dynamically to internal and
external stimuli, depending on the developmental stage and activity of the organism. The …

With the increasing knowledge that gender influences normal physiology, much biomedical
research has begun to focus on the differential effects of sex on tissue function. Sexual …

Adipose tissue is a specialized endocrine and paracrine organ producing specific factors
called adipokines. It is well known that adipokines balance is fundamental to prevent …
