Adipocytes do get larger. Actually when animals including humans get fat they do not elevate the number of adipocytes in their body they just have larger adipocytes. Adipocytes do not multiply in an adult body they just get larger or they shrink according to how much fat they store.
What else can I help you with?
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
If adipocytes are incapable of cell division how is weight gain accomplished?
Weight gain is accomplished by an increase in the size of existing adipocytes, not by an increase in their number. When we consume more calories than we burn, excess energy is stored in the form of triglycerides within adipocytes, causing them to enlarge. This leads to an overall increase in body weight as the size of adipose tissue expands.
What promotes fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase is what promotes the fat storage in adipocytes. This is an enzyme that is water-soluble and is in charge of hydrolyzing the lipoprotein's triglycerides.
Does growth hormone cause fat accumulation within adipocytes?
Yes, growth hormone can stimulate the breakdown of fats in adipocytes (fat cells) and promote the release of fatty acids into the bloodstream for energy use by the body. It does not directly cause fat accumulation within adipocytes.
If mature adipocytes do not divide how can adults gain weight?
Adipocytes contain a fat-filled vacuole that can fill or empty, causing the cell to gain or lose volume.
What is the cell type found in adipose tissue?
adipocytes
What type of cells are connective tissue made of?
fibrobalst and adipocytes
What is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
Is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
Which type of connective tissue cell has a large vacuole?
The white adipose cells or adipocytes have a large fat vacuole. White adipocytes are found everywhere in the adipose connective tissues.
The cell stores fats and starch in?
The vacuoles
How do you convert the term adipocyte into a plural form?
The plural form of adipocyte is adipocytes
