Springer - Adipocytokines, Energy Balance, and Cancer: 12

Explore the complex biological mechanisms of adipose tissue communication in this specialized volume from Springer. This text examines how adipocytokines act as the primary circuitry for signals sent between adipocytes, stromal cells, immune cells, and vascular elements. It provides a detailed look at how these signals regulate the intake, utilization, and distribution of energy throughout the body. Understanding the link between adipose tissue and systemic health is essential for medical professionals. The book addresses how both qualitative and quantitative disturbances in adipocytokine function contribute to major comorbidities. By studying these connections, readers gain insight into the relationship between obesity and serious conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer. This resource is designed for those working in internal medicine and oncology who require a deep understanding of how metabolic processes influence disease progression.
