Summary
Obesity causes changes in adipose tissue, the liver, and skeletal muscle that lead to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. Obese individuals who have the ability to recruit new adipocytes develop adipocyte hyperplasia, whereas others have adipocyte hypertrophy due to impaired adipogenesis. The ability to recruit new adipocytes protects against ectopic fat accumulation in the abdomen, skeletal muscle, and liver.
