Abstract
Several findings indicate that adipose tissue and bone have a complex reciprocal relationship. The two cells lineages share a common progenitor, and adipocyte endocrine activity may influence bone metabolism. Recent evidence from animal models suggests that bone cells may contribute regulating energy metabolism.
