Adipocytes, also known as lipocytes and fat cells, are the cells that primarily compose adipose tissue, specialized in storing energy as fat. [1] Adipocytes are derived from mesenchymal stem cells which give rise to adipocytes through adipogenesis. In cell culture, adipocyte progenitors can also form osteoblasts, myocytes and other cell types.

2020年4月4日 · 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.

2021年6月15日 · An adipocyte is a brown, beige, pink, or white fat cell that stores triglyceride droplets, secretes chemicals, or converts lipids to energy.

adipose cell, connective-tissue cell specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat.

2025年3月19日 · Adipocyte is a fully open access, multi-disciplinary journal that publishes research on all aspects of adipose tissue physiology and pathophysiology.

2024年3月19日 · Fat cells, also known as adipocytes or adipose cells, are specialized cells that play an essential role in energy storage and metabolism. These cells are the building blocks of …

Adipocytes are the main cellular components of white adipose tissue (WAT). Although their main function is to control energy balance by storing and mobilizing triacylglycerol, they also play pivotal roles as endocrine and paracine organs.

2025年2月4日 · Adipose tissue, also known as fat tissue or fatty tissue, is a connective tissue that is mainly composed of fat cells called adipocytes. Adipocytes are energy-storing cells that contain large globules of fat known as lipid droplets, surrounded by a structural network of fibers. How is adipose tissue classified?

2025年1月14日 · Adipocytes, commonly known as fat cells, are integral to the body’s energy regulation and metabolic processes. These specialized cells store excess calories and …

2011年9月28日 · Adipose tissue, which is primarily composed of adipocytes, is crucial for maintaining energy and metabolic homeostasis. Adipogenesis is thought to occur in two stages: commitment of mesenchymal...
