| Research Abstract |
Our studies focused not only on morphological changes in an increase of adipose-tissue weight and adipocyte size, but also on functional changes in gene expression and metabolism of adipose tissue. In this report, we tried to establish an in vivoimaging technique using an adipokine-reporter gene as indicator of adipose-functional changes. In the future, using this imaging technique, we may provide a useful index of diagnosis for patho-physiological aspects of increased adipose tissue
