Adipogenesis is the production and formation of fat. Adipokinesis is the metablosim of fat. Hope this helps.

I know Cha-cha says it's impossible to feel fat cells forming, but the truth of the matter is, yes you can. You can take a bite of something sweet, let's say donuts, or certain candies, and then immediately feel the fat you just ingested start to form in your thighs.
Fat forms under the skin during the process of adipogenesis, primarily in the subcutaneous layer of adipose tissue. This occurs when preadipocytes differentiate into adipocytes, which then store lipids. The subcutaneous fat serves as an energy reserve, provides insulation, and offers cushioning for the body.
Adipose tissue is synthesized and formed in the body through a process called adipogenesis, where pre-adipocytes differentiate into mature adipocytes. This process is influenced by various factors including hormonal signals (like insulin and glucocorticoids), nutritional status, and genetic factors. Once formed, adipocytes store energy in the form of triglycerides and play a key role in regulating metabolism and energy homeostasis. Additionally, adipose tissue can expand in size and number in response to excess caloric intake.
