What else can I help you with?
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
What is the function of adipose cell hormone-sensitive lipase?
Hormone-sensitive lipase in adipose cells plays a key role in breaking down stored triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be released into the bloodstream to be used for energy production in other tissues. It is regulated by various hormones such as insulin, glucagon, and adrenaline to control the balance of energy storage and utilization in the body.
Which pancreatic hormone stimulates the uptake of glucose by cells?
The hormone that predominately signals glucose uptake by the cells is the insulin. It is secreted in the pancreas by the islets of Langerhans.
What is true regarding adipose tissue?
Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue made up of fat cells, also known as adipocytes. Its main function is to store energy in the form of fat, provide insulation, and protect organs. Adipose tissue plays a crucial role in hormone regulation and metabolism.
Which hormone lowers blood sugar levels by increasing the rate of entry glucose into the cell?
Insulin is the hormone that lowers blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells, especially muscle and adipose cells. It facilitates the movement of glucose from the bloodstream into these cells, where it can be used for energy or stored.
Hormone produced by adipose cells?
Leptin
Is leptin an enzyme?
No, leptin is not an enzyme. It is a hormone produced by fat cells that plays a role in regulating energy balance and appetite.
What hormone is released from adipose tissue?
Leptin is a hormone released by adipose tissue.
What cell and what hormone come from the testes?
The male gametes called sperm cells and the hormone is testosterone.
Where is the hormone inhibin produced?
Inhibin is produced in the Sertoli cells in the testis and in the granulosa cells in the ovary.
What is the hormone produced by the male reproductive system and where is is produced?
Male reproductive system produces Testosterone. This hormone is produced by the interstitial cells of the testes.
What endocrine gland secretes leptin?
Leptin is primarily secreted by adipose tissue (fat cells) and acts as a hormone in the regulation of body weight and energy balance. It is not secreted by a specific endocrine gland like the thyroid or pancreas.
What is too much Leptin?
Leptin is a hormone that comes from adipose cells (cells that make up the fat in your body). Leptin suppresses your appetite and regulates your body's energy expenditure. Since Leptin is produced by fat cells, if you have too much it means that you have excess fat (i.e. you are overweight!)
What is the hormone produced by the basophilic cells of the adenohypophysis?
oxytocin
Is enzyme a hormone?
no it is not a hormone, it is a protein substance produced in living cells that catalyzes reaction.
Leptin is a hormone produced by?
leptin is a hormone produced by fat cells that helps regulate energy balance by signaling the brain to reduce appetite and increase energy expenditure.
What Hormone is produced or stored by the parafollicular cells of the thyroid?
Calcitonin
