Adipocyte heterogeneity may influence obesity-related metabolism; leaves open whether selective targeting improves outcomes.
This review highlights the coexistence of white, brown, and beige adipocytes and their role in modifying the global metabolic state in obesity.
Frigolet et al. (2020) conducted a review in Obesity and metabolic alterations. Adipose tissue (white, brown, beige) was evaluated. White, brown, and beige adipocyte populations can coexist within the same structure and modify the global metabolic state in physiological or pathological situations such as obesity.
