Bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) is a major component of the bone marrow microenvironment, yet its function is not well understood. Although individuals with anorexia nervosa, a psychiatric illness characterized by self-induced starvation and low body weight and a model of chronic starvation, have low levels of subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (1), BMAT levels are higher in girls and women with anorexia nervosa compared with normal-weight controls (2, 3). Why this adipose depot would be expanded during chronic starvation while other lipid depots are depleted is unknown, but the paradoxical behavior of this lipid depot may provide insight into its function.
Special thanks to Dr. Clifford J. Rosen and his colleagues for their contribution this month.
