Fig. 5. Multiple actions of obesogens.

Fig. 5.

Obesogens in addition to increasing the number and size of adipocytes also affect other tissues and process. Several of the main effects of obesogens are shown here. These are not all of the tissues and processes affected but show the broad effects of obesogenic chemicals. The chemicals shown have been reported to have that effect but that does not mean that other chemicals may not also have those effects. For example, the three chemicals shown are the only ones that have been examined for their effects on pathways and genes in adipocytes. It may be that other obesogens will also stimulate the production of dysfunctional adipocytes. Colors are only to highlight the same chemical across multiple mechanisms.
