Adipose tissue - Wikipedia Adipose tissue is derived from preadipocytes and its formation appears to be controlled in part by the adipose gene The two types of adipose tissue are white adipose tissue (WAT), which stores energy, and brown adipose tissue (BAT), which generates body heat
Adipose tissue | Structure, Function Location | Britannica Adipose tissue, connective tissue consisting mainly of fat cells (adipose cells, or adipocytes), specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat, within a structural network of fibres
Adipose (Fat) Tissue: Types, Benefits, and Disorders Adipose tissue, also known as fat tissue, cushions the body and protects internal organs Fat tissue stores unused calories from food until your body needs it for energy
Adipose Tissue: Physiology to Metabolic Dysfunction Just in the past decade, substantial advances have led to new insights into the contributions of adipose tissue to normal physiology and obesity-related complications, which places adipocyte biology at the epicenter of a global pandemic of metabolic diseases
Adipose Tissue Anatomy: Structure and Function of Fat Cells Adipose tissue, a type of loose connective tissue, plays a critical role in energy storage, insulation, and cushioning within the human body, consisting primarily of fat cells with minimal extracellular matrix
