GlossaryAdipocytes (Adipose Cells)

specialized cells that store energy as fat

Adipocytes, also known as fat cells, are specialized cells that store energy in the form of fat. They are found in adipose tissue and play a crucial role in energy metabolism, insulation, and cushioning of organs. Adipocytes can expand or shrink depending on the body's energy balance, and they also secrete hormones and cytokines that influence various physiological processes, including appetite regulation and inflammation.
