What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
What are mature fat cells called?
Mature fat cells are called adipocytes. Adipocytes store energy in the form of fat and play a crucial role in regulating metabolism, energy balance, and hormonal functions in the body. They can be found in various types of adipose tissue, including white, brown, and beige fat, each serving different physiological roles.
What is the medical term meaning cells that contain fat?
I believe you are referring to Adipocytes, which make up adipose tissue.
How do fat cells form?
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.
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
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.
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.
Is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
What is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
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.
How is weight gain accomplished with adipocytes?
The amount of stored fat into the cell increases.
Where are fats stood in the body?
Fat cells known as adipocytes, often in the liver.
What kind of connective tissue has greatly enlarged cells with nuclei pushed to sides?
This description is characteristic of adipose tissue, which is a type of connective tissue that stores fat in the form of adipocytes. Adipocytes are specialized cells that can greatly increase in size as they store more fat, leading to enlargement of the tissue. Due to the accumulation of fat droplets, the nuclei of adipocytes get pushed to the periphery of the cell.
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.
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.
