		Adipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes.
		Adipose tissue is primarily located beneath the skin, but is also found around internal organs.
		Adipose tissue is divided into lobes by small blood vessels.

	Adipose Tissue \| World of Anatomy and Physiology
		Adipose tissue is a specialized type of connective tissue, the tissue that binds various structures together and also provides cushioning and support.
		White adipose tissue is used as a substrate, or starting material, from which energy is generated by a series of biochemical reactions.
		Brown adipose tissue takes its name from its color, which is due to the many blood vessels and mitochondria (the ATP factories of a cell) rich cells that are present in the tissue.

		Factors that predispose individuals to local or generalized hypertrophy of adipose tissue are still poorly defined, but there is evidence that the autonomic nervous system may not be functioning fully in obese subjects, either as a primary or secondary phenomenon.
		Adipose tissue regrowth is facilitated by a fattening diet, but there is no evidence that the fat depot will regrow beyond control amounts.
		Adipose tissue, and BAT in particular, however, are not the only tissues involved in thermogenesis in the adult human.

		Adipose tissue is found in mammals in two different forms: white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue.
		In the rat, brown adipose tissue is found primarily in the interscapular region and the axillae, minor amounts are found near the thymus and in the dorsal midline region of the thorax and abdomen.
		White adipose tissue is not as richly vascularized as brown adipose tissue, but each adipocyte in white adipose tissue is in contact with at least one capillary.

		Adipose tissue is a specialized connective tissue that serves as a main storage site for triglycerides (fat), and is found in two forms, brown and white, in mammals.
		White adipose tissue serves three main functions, but its primary one is to serve as a storage location for energy, in the form of long-chain fatty acids and triglycerides.
		In adult mammals, the majority of bulk adipose tissue is composed of a loose association of lipid-filled cells termed adipocytes, which are connected together in a framework of collagen fibers.

		Adipose tissue is a connective tissue that specializes in the synthesis and storage of fat reserves.
		Depending upon the species and age of an organism, brown adipose, which derives its coloration from densely packed mitochondria, may be found in a variety of locations in the body.
		Adipose tissue may atrophy as a result of prolonged periods of undernutrition or, in a localized area, from injury.

		Subcutaneous adipose tissue was defined as the adipose tissue that circulated the circumference of the lower limb, adjacent to the skin, as well as any connected adipose tissue that was infiltrated into the muscle.
		Percent adipose tissue was calculated by dividing the total voxels determined for fat intensity signals connected to the subcutaneous adipose seed point by the total voxels for the slice (Figure 3).
		In contrast, MRI adipose connectedness maps and semi-automated subcutaneous adipose tissue quantification with very high resolution and reproducibility, captured traits that could be compared statistically, confirming the subtle clinical differences [3,10].

	Adipose Tissue as an endocrine gland : by Ray Sahelian, M.D. adipose connective tissue
		The traditional function attributed to white adipose tissue of energy storage in the form of triglycerides has been challenged by results from recent studies, showing that adipose tissue is, in fact, a highly active metabolic and endocrine organ.
		Adipokines produced in adipose tissue have several roles and can be, according to their main function, grouped in four groups: immunologic, cardiovascular, metabolic and endocrine adipokines.
		Adipose tissue is mainly involved in lipid and glucose metabolism.

		The standard reference human adipose blood flow value of about 28 ml/kg/min [1] is based on Xenon washout measurements [2] of the local flow to a roughly 0.1 ml tissue region.
		For the N adipose compartments, there were N adjustable parameters representing: 1) the total adipose blood flow (determined from fitting the N = 1 model to the short time data) and 2) the fraction of the total flow in the first N-1 compartments (determined from fitting the long time data).
		The volumes of the two adipose compartments were roughly similar and the perfusion rates of the slow and fast adipose compartment were in the range of 0.022 and 0.12 l/kg/min (Table 1).

	Brown Adipose Tissue
		Brown adipose tissue is a unique and important tissue in mammals and rodents that differs significantly in both structure and function from the more familiar white adipose.
		Structurally, brown adipose cells contain small multilocular lipid droplets while white adipose tissue is composed of larger unilocular droplets.
		Brown adipose cells are electrically coupled via gap junctions and highly vascularized for high blood flow rates and is located to supply vascular drainage to the brain, spinal cord, heart, lungs and kidneys during cold stress.
