Why the study?
The increasing prevalence of obesity and associated diseases has prompted expanded research into the biology and functions of adipose tissue.
Design
Review of current literature on adipose tissue biology and function
Key result
Adipose tissue is a complex, heterogeneous endocrine organ with various depots (white, brown, yellow, pink) playing crucial roles in energy storage, thermogenesis, bone remodeling, and pregnancy.

Adipose tissue functions as a heterogeneous endocrine organ; leaves open translation of mechanistic insights to targeted obesity therapies.
This review summarizes current knowledge on the morphological and functional heterogeneity of adipose tissue and its role in obesity and related metabolic diseases.
Т. И. Романцова (2021) conducted a review in Obesity. Adipose tissue biology was evaluated. Adipose tissue is a complex, heterogeneous endocrine organ with various depots (white, brown, yellow, pink) playing crucial roles in energy storage, thermogenesis, bone remodeling, and pregnancy.
