	Adipose Tissue
		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.
		The remaining weight of white adipose tissue is composed of water (5 to 30%) and protein (2 to 3%).

	Adipose tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes.
		In a severely obese person, excess adipose tissue hanging downward from the abdomen is referred to as a panniculus (or pannus).
		Adipose tissue, because of its association with high food energy intake and low physical exertion, historically was considered an indication of wealth and privilege.

	Blue Histology - Connective Tissues
		Connective tissue cells are usually divided into two groups based on their ability to move within the connective tissue.
		There are two types of adipose tissue, which derive their names from the colour of the tissue (white or brown) and the number of lipid droplets found in the adipocytes.
		Brown adipose tissue is often located in the connective tissue close to the renal hilus or in the renal sinus of sections which contain the entire kidney of small laboratory animals.

		Gluteal adipose tissue was examined in 13 patients with generalized adiposis dolorosa, a clinical condition characterized by painful adiposity with a chronic intractable course.
		Activity of adipose tissue LPL increased to a median of 15.3 m-units/g of lipid from 4.5 m-units/g of lipid.
		Adipose tissue LPL activity, as analysed in seven of the patients, had a median value of 4.7 m-units/g of lipid wet weight (interquartile range 3.9-8.0 m-units/g of lipid wet weight), which is slightly, although not significantly, lower than our reference value, 5.2-14.8 m-units/g of lipid wet weight.

	Adipose tissue
		Adipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes (fat cells).
		The tissue is distributed in multiple depots, both subcutaneously and internally, and clusters of adipocytes may also be located adjacent to, or embedded in, other organs such as the lymph nodes and skeletal muscle.
		The link between adipose tissue and inflammation has been augmented by the recent evidence that WAT is infiltrated by macrophages in the obese, and this may be a significant component of the inflammatory state within expanding adipose tissue depots.

	Brown adipose tissue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Brown fat is a type of adipose tissue present in many newborn or hibernating mammals.
		This alternative route for protons uncouples oxidative phosphorylation and the energy in the PMF is released as heat.
		When growing up, most of the mitochondria (which are responsible for the brown color) in brown fat disappear, and the tissue becomes similar in function and appearance to white fat, as a mere fat deposit, though some adults do retain their brown fat.

		The cells of connective tissue include three types that are relatively stationary, fibroblasts, macrophages, and adipose cells, and several types of motile, migrating cells—mast cells, monocytes, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils.

	Preclinical safety study shows adipose-derived stem cells improve heart function after heart attack
		Intracoronary infusion of adipose tissue-derived regenerative cells 48 hours after infarction was found to be safe, with all 13 swine surviving to the 6-month follow-up period.
		Adipose tissue-derived regenerative cells consist of (1) adult stem cells, (2) endothelial progenitor cells (blood vessel forming cells) and (3) other growth factor producing cells (tissue growth and repair promoting cells).
		Forty-eight hours after the infarction, adipose cells were harvested through a lipectomy, autologous regenerative cells were isolated, and the pigs were randomized to either an intracoronary infusion of saline (control) or 40-140x106 (mean 67.5x106) regenerative cells (experimental) infused distal to the site of occlusion.

	Adipose Tissue as a Medium for Epidemiologic Exposure Assessment
		Adipose tissue samples contain many compounds that can be measured reliably and that are related to past exposures of interest for epidemiologic studies.
		Adipose tissue sampling from living subjects was described in detail by Hirsch in 1960 (1) as a "simple, virtually painless and risk-free method for the removal of such small samples of adipose tissue," which could be conducted on subjects to collect fat tissue for etiologic research on fatty acid composition of this tissue.
		Adipose tissue is a biomarker of significance for epidemiologic research of dietary exposures in relation to cancer.

	Adipose Tissue as an endocrine gland : by Ray Sahelian, M.D. adipose connective tissue
		Adipose tissue is an anatomical term for loose connective tissue composed of adipocytes.
		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.
		Adipose tissue is mainly involved in lipid and glucose metabolism.
