Adenovirus and obesity?

This may be a bit of a stretch but researchers have found that in 3T3-L1 cells in vitro, Ad-31, Ad-36, and Ad-37, but not Ad-2, increased adipocyte differentiation and triglycerides accumulation. Maybe H5N1 also causes obesity, this would explain the correlation between fat people and KFC.
