Abstract

Adipocytes are highly specialized cells that form and store fat in adipose tissue and play a major role in energy homeostasis in vertebrate organisms. Obesity results from an energy surplus and is characterized by an increased storage of lipid and expansion of adipose tissue. Obesity modifies the endocrine and metabolic functions of adipocytes and is a risk factor for many other metabolic diseases, including type II diabetes, cardiovascular ischemic disease, atherosclerosis, and hypertension.
