Toxic - Answer -Too much fat stored in non-adipose cells can be __________
Adipokines - Answer -Adipose Tissue secrete _________________ a protein that helps
regulate energy balanced and influenced by several body functions
Resistin - Answer -__________________ a protein produced by adipose cells that
promotes inflammation and causes insulin resistance
, Adiponectin - Answer -____________ a protein produced by adipose cells that inhibits
inflammation and protects against insulin resistance.
Essential Fatty Acids - Answer -___________________ are fatty acids that the body
require but cannot make on its own so it must be obtained from the diet.
