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.
