My opinion is: I don't know that I would extend this to include a conclusion about empty fat cells because the authors seem to think that the death was related to energy depletion in the filled fat cells, which may not be such an important thing in empty fat cells. My understanding is that your OPINION is that you WOULD extend this conclusion to empty fat cells. Is that correct?
