Adipose
Cells
Adipose cells are special fat-storing cells
located all over the body. Also known as adipocytes, adipose cells
store and release fat. When fat is released, the adipose cells
decrease in size. When fat is absorbed, the adipose cells increase
in size, which makes the individual fatter.
Adipose cells get large through feeding them.
When more calories are consumed than burned, some of the excess
carbohydrates are stored as glucose in the muscles. The rest is
stored as fat in the adipose cells. During exercise, the adipose
cells release fat into the blood stream, where it circulates around
to the muscles which use the fat for fuel. Aerobic exercise stimulates
the adipose cells to release great amounts of fat. That fat will
be burned by the muscles during exercise. Excess unburned fat returns
to the adipose cells for storage.
The average individual has around 30-35 billion
adipose cells. Adipose cells do not divide when they grow too large.
When an adipose cell has grown to its limit, it sends a biochemical
signal to adjacent adipocyte precursor cells called preadipocytes
to absorb fat and grow larger. These preadipocytes then become fully
mature adipose cells, resulting in a fatter individual. Adipose
cells do not disappear when they get smaller. They shrink to a minimal
size, and can always grow larger again.
