Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The present review aims to address the role of adipose tissue oxygen partial pressure (PO2) in the metabolic and endocrine derangements in conditions characterized by insulin resistance.

Studies in ob/ob and dietary-induced obese mice have provided evidence for adipose...
