W hat is Fat cell?
Fat cell

Aka. Adipocyte cell.

Located betw een layer of
skin and m uscle.
Also located surrounding
the organs.
H ave 2 types

M ore specifi
c??
W H ITE FAT CELL
Contain callfat reservoir aka.
lipid vacuoles (90-99% of cell).
Fat droplets pushed other
organelles to the edge.
have allof the organelle that
stem cellhas.
extra am ount of m itochondria
BRO W N FAT CELL
M any diff
erent size of fat
droplets.
H ave large am ount of
cytoplasm .
H ave allof the com m on
organelle from stem cell
extra am ount of
m itochondria
H ow does it increase?

Fat cellw illnever be decreased
It can only increase w hen triglyceride is overlim it of

 WHITE FAT CELL FUNCTION

Store energy : largest energy reserve in the

body.
keep bodys tem perature stable.
protect body from physicaltraum a and also cold by
the visceralfat.

*Physicaltraum a: physicalinjury.

*Physicaltraum a: physicalinjury.
BROWN FAT CELL FUNCTION

provide energy as a heat

allow anim al, body to rew arm .
burn calories w hen produce heat.
regard the w eight.
How its shape bring the benefit?

of space.

am ount to w ork their function.
If it m ess up?
 D iseases and M alfunctions

If the energy intake is higher than the energy

consum ption. The adipocyte cellw ill
enlarged.
Too m uch lipid w illresult in lipid entering
other cells and dam age them .
The enlarged cellcan cause insulin resistance
and obesity.
 This Can also cause
Type 2 diabetes
H igh blood pressure
Coronary heart disease
Stroke
Fatty liver disease
O bstructive sleep apnea
Severaltypes of cancer
Etc.
 Fun Fact!
Average adult hum an has 30
billion fat cells w ith a w eight of
13.5 kg
M axim um size of fat cellcan
grow 1000 tim es m uch larger
than originalone
