Le tissu adipeux: une éponge à polluants organiques persistants

Adipose tissue: a reservoir for persistent organic pollutants

Obésité

Résumé

Le tissu adipeux est capable de stocker certains polluants organiques mais aussi de libérer ces derniers, tout particulièrement en cas d’amaigrissement important ou prolongé. Les conséquences défavorables ou, au contraire, protectrices de cette nouvelle fonction du tissu adipeux sont encore mal connues. Il paraît donc nécessaire d’envisager des études à la fois toxicologiques et métaboliques, notamment chez les personnes qui ont une obésité massive et qui bénéficient d’une chirurgie bariatrique.

Abstract

Adipose tissue can not only store certain organic pollutants but it can also free them, particularly in cases of significant or long-term weight-loss. As yet we know little about the good and/or bad consequences of this newly discovered tissue function and it would therefore appear advisable to carry out toxicological and metabolic studies of heavily obese subjects who have undergone bariatric surgery.
