  2. Brown adipose tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_adipose_tissue

    In contrast to white adipocytes, which contain a single lipid droplet, brown adipocytes contain numerous smaller droplets and a much higher number of (iron-containing) mitochondria, which gives the tissue its color. [3] Brown fat also contains more capillaries than white fat. These supply the tissue with oxygen and nutrients and distribute the ...

  3. White adipose tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_adipose_tissue

    White adipose tissue or white fat is one of the two types of adipose tissue found in mammals. The other kind is brown adipose tissue. White adipose tissue is composed of monolocular adipocytes. In humans, the healthy amount of white adipose tissue varies with age, but composes between 6–25% of body weight in adult men and 14–35% in adult women.

    In cell culture, adipocyte progenitors can also form osteoblasts, myocytes and other cell types. There are two types of adipose tissue, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT), which are also known as white and brown fat, respectively, and comprise two types of fat cells.

    Adipose tissue (also known as body fat or simply fat) is a loose connective tissue composed mostly of adipocytes. [1] [2] It also contains the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of cells including preadipocytes, fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells and a variety of immune cells such as adipose tissue macrophages.

    Additionally, his work highlighted how the absence of brown adipose tissue may contribute to obesity, [21] and that UCP1-expressing cells that can develop in white adipose depots represent a distinct type of adipocyte, termed "brite" (now "beige") adipocytes, due to their unique gene expression profile compared to classical brown adipocytes. [22]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptin

    Leptin is produced primarily in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue. It also is produced by brown adipose tissue, placenta (syncytiotrophoblasts), ovaries, skeletal muscle, stomach (the lower part of the fundic glands), mammary epithelial cells, bone marrow, [19] gastric chief cells, and P/D1 cells. [99]
