Adipose tissue, or fat, is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes. Its main role is to store energy in the form of fat, although it also cushions and insulates the body.

Adipose tissue is connective tissue primarily comprised of white and brown adipocytes (fat cells). Though previously thought of as an inert tissue, adipocytes have been shown to play varied roles ...

In an upcoming research project, adipose-derived stem cells and vascular endothelial cells will be cultured on a three-dimensional tissue chip to study their angiogenic potential.

This layer also contains collagen-rich connective tissue and a network of blood vessels and nerves. Like the skin as a whole, the subcutaneous layer varies in thickness throughout the body.

The new data demonstrates that adipose tissue infiltration is present instead of FCT infiltration up to 18.9 percent ... and may interfere with normal intramesh fibrous connective tissue ...

Adipose tissue can therefore improve triglycerides. If we eat and store food with unfavorable fatty acids, they do not have to be released in that state again when we are hungry.
