Revealing the Unexpected Dangers of Obesity by Shirley S. Wang. The Wall Street Journal. October 29, 2012.
Obesity is a complex condition involving hormones, inflammatory molecules and chemicals that can have wide impact. Just how wide is only now beginning to be understood. For example, the olfactory bulb contains one of the densest collection of insulin receptors outside the pancreas. In mice research, there are indications that the change in the sense of smell is related to obesity, either as a effect or as a cause. Sleepiness, apart from sleep apnea, could also be related to obesity as perhaps is fertility and cancer.
