What is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
Is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
What type of hormone encourages growth of fat cells?
Insulin is the primary hormone that encourages the growth of fat cells, known as adipocytes. It promotes the storage of glucose as fat and facilitates the uptake of fatty acids into these cells. Additionally, insulin regulates lipid metabolism and inhibits the breakdown of fat, contributing to increased fat accumulation in the body.
What is the enzyme that resides on the surface of fat cells and promotes fat storage?
thyroxine
Can adipocytes get larger?
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.
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.
Where in a mammal is fat stored?
Like I said , mammals will store fat like we do. Belly, thighs, hindquarters, and beavers keep fat in their tails as well. Some mammals have special areas for fat storage, but all is either in a sub-cutaneous layer, and mostly in the usual areas.
What is the main storage site for fat?
The main storage site for fat in the body is adipose tissue, which is made up of adipocytes (fat cells). Adipose tissue can be found underneath the skin (subcutaneous fat) or around organs (visceral fat) and serves as a key energy reserve for the body.
What kind of cells store fats?
an 'Adipocyte' (fat cell), sometimes simply called adipose, are cells that specialise in fat storage. adipose tissue is a mainly made up of adipocytes. that is why adipose tissue is often referred to as fatty tissue, because the adipose tissue is made up of adipocytes which have fat stored in them. when you hear the word adipose its generally referring to fat, and remember lipid is another word for fat. eg : if something is lipid soluble, it means that it is fat soluble (able to disolve in fats/lipids). so i believe the answer to your question is adipocytes.
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.
What tissue is Specialized for fat storage?
There really isn't a type of tissue specialized for storing fat. Fat is a tissue. It is made from cells called adipocytes. Fat's scientific name is adipose tissue. Your body needs it for insulation, cushioning and protecting vital organs. It can also be used as a form of energy in cellular respiration.
