The storage of excess body fat has profound effects on intermediary metabolism and endocrine function. Here, I review the effects of obesity on linear growth and bone maturation, thyroid function, sexual development, adrenal function, calcium homeostasis, and bone mineralization. Subsequent chapters in this volume discuss the implications of obesity for insulin production and action and the regulation of glucose tolerance, blood pressure, lipid metabolism, atherogenesis, sleep hygiene, and hepatic, renal, and neurologic function.
