Key Concepts

-
Adipose Tissue
Adipose tissue is not just a fat reserve; it also functions as an endocrine organ that secretes various hormones which have significant roles in regulating metabolism and energy balance.
Leptin
Leptin is a hormone released by adipose tissue, especially after energy intake, that helps to regulate appetite and body weight by signaling the brain to reduce food consumption and increase energy expenditure.
