New England Journal of Medicine, 1963•Mass Medical SocADIPOSE tissue, previously thought to be metabolically inert, has now been recognized as
one of the most active tissues in the body, 1 being a major site of insulin activity and
carbohydrate-lipid interaction. As a result, there has been a renewed interest in the
problems of obesity, with a re-examination of lipid metabolism for possible differences
between obese and normal subjects. The purpose of the present study is to analyze one
parameter of lipid metabolism in obesity—namely, the concentration of plasma free fatty acid …
