There is a large literature on the relationship between obesity and bone. What we can
conclude from this review is that the increase in body weight causes an increase in BMD …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a non-hematopoietic stem cell population first discovered
in bone marrow, are multipotent cells capable of differentiating into mature cells of several …

Adipose tissue is a central metabolic organ. Unlike other organs, adipose tissue is
compartmentalized into individual depots and distributed throughout the body. These …

Bone marrow is one of the largest organs in the human body, enclosing adipocytes,

Obesity represents a risk factor for development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. In
addition, it has been associated with increased adipocyte formation in the bone marrow …

Marrow adipocytes, collectively termed marrow adipose tissue (MAT), reside in the bone
marrow in close contact to bone cells and haematopoietic cells. Marrow adipocytes arise …

Context: There is growing interest in the relationship between bone mineral density, bone
