■●》THE TISSUE THAT ACTS AS INSULATOR IS ADIPOSE TISSUE...
》The adipose tissue is a diffuse organ whose main function is to STORE and give reserve energy in the form of triacylglycerol (triglycerides). Fat is stored in special cells, adipocytes, with specific functions. In this paper the adipose tissue will be discussed from the point of VIEW of evolution, functional capacity, regional specificity and QUALITATIVE functions.
》■adipose tissue was considered to be an inert tissue up till about 40 years ago, it has turned out that this is a very active tissue with a number of vital functions. Depot fat is stored here and mobilised in the postabsorptive phase, functions which are tightly regulated by hormones and the autonomous nervous system. Adipose tissue has also been shown to be a major store for fat soluble hormones as well as producer of signaling substances. In obesity adipose tissue is enlarged due to a positive energy balance. When this is occurring in CENTRAL depots this is an index of risk for prevalent DISEASE.
