From the authors: “This study reveals that accelerated adipogenesis during the perinatal window of adipose tissue development predisposes to later life hypertrophic adipocyte dysfunction, thereby compromising the buffering function of the subcutaneous depot.”
This study is highlighted as one of November’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
