Here, we present a detailed description of the adipose tissue structures that can be imaged with confocal microscopy in rodents, along with detailed protocols. 1.1 Adipocyte morphology The mature white adipocyte is primarily composed of a single large lipid droplet that is ~ 100 μm in diameter ...
Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue involved in stockpiling energy surplus in the form of lipids. The tissue is distributed throughout the body, the most important places of its location are subcutaneous and visceral regions [3]. Moreover, recent years investigations led researchers to...

The tissue was added to a petri dish, dissected to remove the connective/fibrotic tissue, and then weighed. The fat tissue was cut into small pieces and then digested with 25–30 ml of lysis buffer [1 mg/ml collagenase type 2 (Worthington) in Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) ...
adipose tissue–derived cells in wound regions. We found CM-DiI+ adipose cells in layers below the interstitial connective tissue at 2 DPW and 8 DPW in bothLeprdb/+ATT andLeprdb/dbATT mice. We also observed that CM-DiI+ cells remained under interstitial connective tissue over time (Fig.2g,...
Several molecular mechanisms have been convincingly shown to be involved in activating inflammatory processes and altering cell composition in white adipose tissue (WAT). However, the overall importance of these alterations, and their long-term impact on the metabolic functions of the WAT and on its...
What are the different types of connective tissue and what are their functions? Define the functions of the lymphatic system. What is lymph? Describe the definition, location, and function of hyaline cartilage. List and provide a brief description of all of the major functions of...
Adipose tissue, which is primarily composed of adipocytes laden with triglycerides, is a type of connective tissue that develops subcutaneously and surrounds or infiltrates some organs. Unlike in marine mammals, which natu- rally accumulate enormous amounts of fat in subcutaneous tissue, excessive fat...
2. Description of the Background Art Adipose tissue, more commonly known as “fat,” is formed of cells containing stored lipid. Fat cells are very large, ranging up to 120 microns in diameter. They are typically spherical, but may assume polyhedral shapes because of mutual deformation. A si...
