Conclusions.
Accumulating data indicate the importance of the endocrine function of adipose tissue for the pathophysiological consequences of obesity-related co-morbidities.

This is a comprehensive summary of our current knowledge on the role of MIF in obesity and obesity-associated comorbidities,...
