Description
White adipose tissue. Illustration of the structure of a type of fat known as white adipose tissue. This is 'white' fat as opposed to 'brown' fat. Adipocytes form adipose tissue, which stores energy as an insulating layer of fat. White adipose tissue is used as a store of energy but also as secretory tissue, secreting hormones like leptin or asprosin.
