Abstract
Mechanisms underlying obesity-related metabolic disorders are poorly understood. Samuel Virtue and Antonio Vidal-Puig explore the evidence for an emerging hypothesis that attributes metabolic complications not to obesity per se, but to an individual's capacity for adipose tissue expandability.Keywords
