Are Brown adipocytes and Brown adipose tissue the same - in that case wouldn't a merge be the best? -- Abdull 10:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone please upload some diagrams of fat cells to this page? Thanks! ;-)-- Edmundkh 10:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I seem to heard that male fat cell and female fat cell are different. If so, can anyone please enclose different diagrams for these two types of fat cells. Thanks! Furthermore, I heard that this difference make women be troubled by cellulite.-- Edmundkh 10:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Add reference for "An average human adult has 30 billion fat cells with a weight of 30 lbs or 13.5 kg." Error 4001 ( talk) 22:07, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
"A typical fat cell is 0.1mm in diameter with some being twice that size and others half that size."
Comment: Is that twice the diameter or twice the volume? A cell that is twice the diameter will have 8 times the volume and mass.
"fat cells increase in size about fourfold"
Comment: Is that four times the diameter or four times the volume? A cell that is four times the diameter will have 64 times the volume and mass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.254.131.239 ( talk) 18:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Comment : According to Int J Obes. 1978;2(1):33-45. , "The normal adipocyte volume in ideal weight persons without metabolic disease is in the order of 0.3 nL". Maybe the part about the typical fat cell being 0.1mm in diameter should be replaced with this information?

it talks about how fat cells get "ruptured" in order to suck out the fat. But this article says that fat removal treatments don't affect number of fat cells. Perhaps it is only natural weight loss that doesn't affect it the number of cells while liposuction does? 76.119.30.87 ( talk) 23:30, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
In the text "A typical fat cell is 0.1mm in diameter", .1mm is 100 micro meters, which seems much too large for a "typical" size. Can someone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adpatter ( talk • contribs) 00:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC) Adipocytes are substantially larger than most body cells, being nearly large enough to view with the naked eye. 66.233.132.60 ( talk) 16:55, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
"Even after marked weight loss, the body never loses adipocytes."
This seems to be a fairly strong statement. The word "never" needs to followed up with a citation that supports the use of this extreme. Perhaps the cell turnover rate of adipocytes is extremely slow, but the experiment that follows this statement does not support infinite lifetime of adipocytes.
I just found an article that supports "Rapid Cellular Turnover in Adipose Tissue." http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0017637 This topic is clearly up for debate.
"Therefore, by three independent experimental approaches —dilution of an inducible histone 2B-green fluorescent protein (H2BGFP), labeling with the cell cycle marker Ki67 and incorporation of BrdU — we characterized the degree of cellular turnover in adipose tissue. Our estimate of daily turnover of adipocyte and preadipocyte cells ranges from a low of 1.8% to a high of 5.7%." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewalsterda ( talk • contribs) 19:00, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
There is interest both in cellular turnover, and in anything which causes a decrease in the absolute number of cells. There appears to be a mechanism where the absolute number can go up, but no apparent means by which the absolute number can go down. A credible source asserting former is needed for the claim. If one is found that demonstrates the latter, that would disprove the statement. 66.85.67.20 ( talk) 18:04, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just modified one external link on Adipocyte. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:
