The Role of Adipose Tissue & Fat Stem Cells
Adipose tissue is one of the main types of connective tissue
Adipose tissues main role is to store energy although it also cushions and insulates the body
The two types of adipose tissue are white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT)
White adipose (WAT) stores energy
Brown adipose (BAT) generates body heat
Until recently, Brown adipose was thought to be limited to infants but new evidence has overturned that belief
Adipose tissue is found under the skin, around organs, in bone marrow and breast tissue
Men are more likely to have fat stored in the abdomen due to hormonal differences.
Female sex hormones causes fat to be stored in the buttocks, thighs, and hips
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a form of visceral fat around the heart.
EAT generates various bioactive molecules, which might significantly affect cardiac function.
Adipose tissue contains the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of cells
SVF Cells include: preadipocytes, fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells and a variety of immune cells & macrophages
Recent advances have allowed harvesting of adult stem cells from adipose tissue
Fat Stem Cells and SVF allow stimulation for tissue regrowth
Adipose derived hormones include: Adiponectin,Resistin,Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI), TNFα,IL-6,Leptin & Estradiol (E2)
