Adipocytes can increase in volume up to a thousand-fold, storing excess calories as
triacylglycerol in large lipid droplets. The dramatic morphological changes required of …

Adipose tissue plays an essential role in regulating energy balance through its metabolic,
cellular and endocrine functions. Adipose tissue has been historically classified into …

Adipose tissue is a complex, multicellular organ that profoundly influences the function of
nearly all other organ systems through its diverse metabolite and adipokine secretome …

Obesity is characterized by increased adipose tissue mass and has been associated with a
strong predisposition towards metabolic diseases and cancer. Thus, it constitutes a public …

Adipose tissue plays a significant role in whole body energy homeostasis. Obesity‐
associated diabetes, fatty liver and metabolic syndrome are closely linked to adipose stress …

The manner in which white adipose tissue (WAT) expands and remodels directly impacts the
risk of developing metabolic syndrome in obesity. Preferential accumulation of visceral WAT …

Obesity and lipoatrophy are major risks for insulin resistance, non-insulin-dependent
diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In the past three decades, significant advances have …

Recent advances regarding the biology of adipose tissue have demonstrated that white
adipose tissue (WAT) plays a central role in the regulation of energy balance and acts as a …

Adipose morphology is defined as the number and size distribution of adipocytes (fat cells)
within adipose tissue. Adipose tissue with fewer but larger adipocytes is said to have a …

Adipocytes are the main constituent of adipose tissue and are considered to be a corner
stone in the homeostatic control of whole body metabolism. Their primary function is to …
