- That's a modest statement.
-
- "Adipocyte hyperplasia" is a common term in current obesity
- research, except for diet wonks. It is defined in Adiposity
- 101. "Hyperplasia" is also defined in the Random House
- Dictionary of the English Language.
-
- "Adipocyte hyperplasia" may sound like politically correct
- diatribe to individuals ignorant of current obesity research
- topics. It is in fact an scientific description of a specific
- physiological condition.
