Springer Angiogenesis in Adipose Tissue

This book covers the latest resarch on the critical role of angiogenesis in regulating expansion and regression of adipose tissue, and explores future opportunities for targeting blood vessels as a method for treatment of obesity and metabolic diseases. From the Back Cover Angiogenesis has recently played a critical role in regulation of adipose tissue expansion and regression.  Like most other tissues in the body, adipose expansion and regression is accompanied by alteration of blood vessel density and structures. The vascular alteration plays an active role in regulation of adipose tissue size and functions.   Targeting blood vessels in the adipose tissue have demonstrated to be a novel approach for possibly treatment of cancer, obesity and other metabolic diseases. This book provides the most updated information on this type research and discusses future opportunities for therapy..
