Adipose tissue, colloquially known as" fat," is an extraordinarily flexible and heterogeneous
organ. While historically viewed as a passive site for energy storage, we now appreciate that …

In mammals, the white adipocyte is a cell type that is specialized for storage of energy (in the
form of triacylglycerols) and for energy mobilization (as fatty acids). White adipocyte …
