Document Content and Description Below

1. Subcutaneous Fat Answer: Fat located directly under the skin - Abdominal - Femoral - Upper body - Gluteal - Cranial 2. Visceral, intra-abdominal Fat Answer: fat located around major organs ... - Omental - Mesenteric 3. Adipocytes Answer: fat cells 4. 3 Physiological Characteristics of Adipocytes Answer: - Lipid Storage - Insulin Sensitive - Secretory functions 5. Adipocytes: Lipid Storage Answer: Form lipid energy in the form of TAG - maintains homeostasis between lipolysis and lipogenesis 6. Adipocytes: Insulin Sensitive Answer: Insulin increases: - Glucose uptake - lipid uptake Insulin Inhibits - Lipolysis 7. Adipocytes: Secretory Functions Answer: - Endocrine hormones - miRNAs - Complement factors - Exosomes To regulate distant target cells 8. Systemic Metabolic Dysfunction Answer: a cluster of conditions that occur together,increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes - Disruption in the adipocytes function can lead to this 9. Adipocyte separation techniques Answer: 1) ECM Digestion 2) Centrifugation 10. 1) ECM Digestion Answer: Digest the ECM from the adipose tissue - Releases the cells 11. 2) Centrifugation Answer: Separates the adipose tissues into 2 fractions based ondensity 12. 2 Fractions of Adipose centrifugation Answer: Top - Mature, functional adipocytes and precursor cells Botton - Non-adipocytes 13. Mature, functional adipocytes and precursor cells Answer: Fat cells (Adipocytes)float to the top - Glucose/lipid metabolism in adipocytes - Respond to physiological cues or metabolic stress [Show More]
