A New View of the Adipocytes Current view: Adipose tissue as active endocrine organ Adipose tissue secretes adipokines regulate energy homeostasis, glucose and lipid metabolism Inflammatory response Appetite Angiogenesis Blood pressure Reproduction system Adipocytes also produce factors that participate in the acute phase reaction and in immune surveillance. Adiposity Excessive total body fat mass Increased abdominal visceral fat Ectopic fat deposition Intramuscular lipid stores Non-alcoholic liver fat Pancreatic lipid infiltration Cardiac muscle lipid infiltration Abnormal fat tissue metabolism Macrophage Ingress Mediates the Inflammatory State of Adipose Tissue
