Talk:Adipose tissue
From Academic Kids
Template:Oldpeerreview At the request of someone on the Spanish-language wikipedia, I did my best here to translate the more extensive material on this topic from the Spanish-language wikipedia. This really needs review now by a competent biologist, because I am a total layman attempting translation of technical material.
Also, in searching for vocabulary I came across http://www.lab.anhb.uwa.edu.au/mb140/CorePages/Connective/Connect.htm, which looks to my layman's eyes to be very solid and informative. I suspect it is a good mine of information and that one or more articles should include it in their external links. However, since it's totally outside my field, I can't judge it, so I'm leaving the linking to someone with a clue.

The article looks good to me; I am not a biologist, having taken only college biology courses, but I have some familiarity with the terminology. So if someone else reads the article and thinks it's okay, it's probably worth taking out the notice. Andrew 09:50, Apr 14, 2004 (UTC)
The article is a nice concise overview. I am removing the notice and making a few small edits. E.g, zootomy means cutting up animals; zoology is doubtless intended. alteripse 29 apr 04
This was already pretty good, but I had a further play before checking the talk page - i must stop doing that!! fixed a few links and hopefully clarified and emphasised the main points. the only thing I'm unsure of ist the adipose panniculus, which i've never heard. it'd be great if somebody could check my changes for typos! --Erich gasboy 05:46, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
- Pannus and panniculus refer to the "apron" of fat hanging from the abdomen downwards in severe obesity. I am not aware of any difference in the two words and they are used interchangably (although etymologically the one is the diminutive of the other and they are rarely diminutive when worth discussing in a medical context). A large pannus or panniculus complicates surgery of the morbidly obese, and may remain as a literal "apron of skin" if a severely obese person loses most of the excess weight (as after a bypass). Maybe I'll add this to the article. Alteripse 13:29, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
- looks good! so what do you do for a day job Alteripse? --Erich gasboy 13:46, 2 May 2004 (UTC) Can't you guess? I teach Latin (and sometimes other things) to our residents. Alteripse 14:31, 2 May 2004 (UTC) ..mmm that makes you an ?old Indianna endrocrinologist??? :-) --Erich gasboy 14:38, 2 May 2004 (UTC) ?old=!ouch but reasonable deducing Alteripse 14:45, 2 May 2004 (UTC) he he. sorry us aussies aren't big on decorum... have you dropped by the Wiki doctors mess? --Erich gasboy 14:53, 2 May 2004 (UTC)
Should social use include ancient greek sacrifices?
Thanks to Prometheus, the god's portion of a typical Ancient Greek animal sacrifice consisted of bones and internal organs covered with adipose tissue. Perhaps a link should be in the mythology section and not here. I'm not familiar enough with the wiki to attempt an addition, so I'm just commenting here. stevieo@nyc.rr.com
cellulite
Why does cellulite redirect here? There's nothing in this article about cellulite. -- Kimiko 21:01, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
good point. I'll make a stubb ;-) Erich 01:56, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
How about adding a stub to the "Adipocyte" entry. Because a tissue is something cpmpletely different than a certain type of cells? --Frosty 21:24, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)
