Despite adipose tissue's important role in providing fuel for exercise and its newly recognized role as an endocrine organ, exercise-induced adaptations in adipose tissue are far less familiar than those of skeletal muscle. An informative and comprehensive resource, Endurance Exercise and Adipose Tissue summarizes current research results regarding the role that endurance exercise plays in determining adipose tissue metabolism, body fat mass, and body fat distribution.

More DescriptionDespite adipose tissue's important role in providing fuel for exercise and its newly recognized role as an endocrine organ, exercise-induced adaptations in adipose tissue are far less familiar than those of skeletal muscle. An informative and comprehensive resource, Endurance Exercise and Adipose Tissue summarizes current research results regarding the role that endurance exercise plays in determining adipose tissue metabolism, body fat mass, and body fat distribution. It includes the effects of both a single exercise bout and endurance exercise training on lipolysis, lipoprotein lipase, and glucose uptake and insulin responsiveness.
