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.
