In summary, this article showed that fat cells that were still FILLED WITH FAT were killed when insulin was RAPIDLY AND EXREMELY depleted, not empty fat cells. Secondly, when insulin was gradually depleted in the last experiment, although some cells died, there was much less evidence of massive fat cell death, and the authors do not mention any correlation between empty cells and the small amount of death that occured.

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?
