In 1940, H. Gideon Wells wrote a delightful article, published in JAMA, entitled "Adipose Tissue, A Neglected Subject."

The result is this handbook consisting of 69 rather brief and for the most part very readable chapters, divided into five general sections: general and comparative physiology of adipose tissue; microscopic and molecular anatomy; enzyme pathways; mechanisms of control; and finally, integrated physiology of adipose tissue in the whole organism. A combined bibliography of over 4,000 references, cross-indexed by
