Abstract
In humans, using adipose tissue to store fat represents the most effective means to ‘store’ energy. On the whole and over an extended period of time, intake of energy has exceeded energy expenditure and where previously the excess of energy was regularly turned over through physical activity, this crucial circle has now been broken. In this way obesity ascribed to either ‘overeating’ or ‘under-activity’.File in questo prodotto:
