ASCs can be maintained in well-defined media conditions with and without serum. Adipose Tissue. Figure 1. It might represent about 15–30% of circulating levels [4]. Introductory Chapter: Types of Adipose Tissue, Adipose Tissue, Leszek Szablewski, IntechOpen, DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.77212. 16.2 [53,62,63]. To date our community has made over 100 million downloads. The most prominent types of cells in the adipose tissue are the adipocytes. Thiagarajan, O. Reizes, in Cancer Stem Cells, 2016. Conversely, BAT stores lipids in multilocular lipid droplets and is highly vascularized and innerved, in particular, by the sympathetic nervous system (SNS). The cellular components in the isolation of ASCs vary based on the influence of multiple factors such as age, tissue type, isolation procedures, culture and experimental conditions, passage number of the dissociated cells, and storage of cells. There are two types of adipose tissue: white and brown. A number of excellent reviews were published on this topic in recent years, and the interested reader will find detailed descriptions of the biology and function of brite, Aldiss et al. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is located under the skin and includes the abdominal and gluteal–femoral depots. In addition to the thermogenic effect that helps to dissipate an excess of calories, brown fat is now considered to exert thermogenesis-independent effects, most likely by a host of specifically secreted factors. (A) White and brown adipose tissue is located in various anatomical locations in humans. Adipose tissue, or fat tissue, is considered a connective tissue even though it does not have fibroblasts or a real matrix, and has only a few fibers. Adipogenesis, i.e., the development of adipose tissue, varies according to sex and age. Unlike white adipose tissue, brown adipose tissue, also known as brown fat, is mostly present during fetal life and in infants. The transcriptional repression of adipogenesis includes both active and passive mechanisms. Adipose tissue develops extensively in homeotherms with the proportion to body weight varying greatly among species. Brown adipose tissue is present in small mammals (e.g., mice) and in newborn humans. During normal embryonic development, primitive fat organs are known to be associated with vascular structures [2, 46, 47]. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is found in fetuses and newborn. At the beginning of the third trimester, adipocytes are present in the main fat depots but are still relatively small. Like adiponectin, its secretion depends on the distribution. While magnetic fractionation by immunologic markers or cell sorting by flow cytometry has been attempted, this approach has led to limited unconvincing results [53,66]. Adipose tissue may be partitioned by connective tissue septa into lobules. When they are present in large numbers we call such tissue adipose (fatty) tissue. Built by scientists, for scientists. HeadquartersIntechOpen Limited5 Princes Gate Court,London, SW7 2QJ,UNITED KINGDOM. As PhD students, we found it difficult to access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. Brown adipose tissue. WAT is the more abundant AT, representing at least 10% of the body weight of normal, healthy adult humans. The transformation of characteristic brown adipocytes into white fat cells can take place rapidly in numerous species and depots during postnatal development. In short, ASCs are isolated from fat tissues by digestion of collagen and differential centrifugation followed by separation of ASCs from SVF by adhesion on plastic dishes [53,63]. During embryonic development it is important to emphasize the temporospacial tight coordination of angiogenesis with the formation of fat cell clusters. After a few early passages of cells, the ASCs in culture survive leading to homogeneity of the population. Among the broad panoply of transcription factors, C/EBPs and the basic helix-loop-helix family (ADD1/SREBP-1c) also stand out together with their link with the existing nutritional status. Its expression and secretion correlate with BMI increases in obesity and decreases in weight loss. In case of a maintained positive energy balance adipose mass expansion takes places initially by an enlargement of the existing fat cells. (2017); Chen et al. If the tissue has more collagenous fibers it will be sturdy and strong. Various redundant signaling pathways and transcription factors directly influence fat cell development by converging in the upregulation of PPARγ, which embodies a common and essential regulator of adipogenesis as well as of adipocyte hypertrophy. Similarly, metabolic or hormonal changes in AT will lead to ATBF disturbance. Adipose lines organs and body cavities to protect organs and insulate the body against heat loss. The secondary fat formation takes place later in fetal life (after the 23rd week of gestation) as well as in the early postnatal period, whereby the differentiation of other fusiform precursor cells that accumulate lipid to ultimately coalesce into a single large drop per cell leads to the dissemination of fat depots formed by unilocular white adipocytes in many areas of connective tissue. 1. Adipose tissue is mainly composed of adipocytes and a stromal vascular fraction (SVF) consisting of pericytes, endothelial cells, monocytes, macrophages, and ASCs [61]. (2017); Betz and Enerback (2017); Buscemi et al. Other roles of leptin are increase of cytokine production and macrophage adhesion and phagocytosis, modulation of blood pressure, influence on insulin sensitivity of peripheral, hepatic and skeletal muscle, and modulation of pancreatic β-cell function [3]. By Fatma Küçük Baloğlu and Feride Severcan. The white adipose cells are spherical with a variable size, which depends on the size of the lipid droplet (unilocular lipid droplet). Brown fat does, however, release energy in the form of heat. G. Frühbeck, J. Gómez-Ambrosi, in Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition (Second Edition), 2005. In humans, adipose tissue is located beneath the skin and is also found around internal organs.Adipose tissue is found in specific locations, which are referred to as 'adipose depots'. Moreover, fetal adipocyte development is spatially and temporally related to capillary development [47], and arteriolar development has been shown to precede adipocyte differentiation in fat depots in the fetus [47]. While these depots exhibit heterogeneity with respect to their molecular, morphological, and metabolic profiles,8 and differences exist between men and women, the metabolic functions of adipose tissue are retained in some capacity at each site. Activation of UCP1 stimulates uptake of lipids and glucose from circulation to process of thermogenesis. Adipose connective tissue: It is a modified form of areolar tissue that contain large number of fat cells ( Adipocytes cells). (2017); Betz and Enerback (2017); Buscemi et al. The mass of BAT depends on overweight, obesity, and age. Targeting adipose tissue dysfunction may provide a valuable strategy to improve cardiometabolic health and pulmonary function in obese individuals and individuals with sarcopenia, who are characterized by a relative excess of adipose tissue. In addition to appearing in different colors, these types have slightly different functions, and different levels of lipids in storage for the body. A small amount of fat in your body is brown adipose tissue (BAT). This specific portion of non-adipocytes is called the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) that is approximately 30% of the total cells in the tissue. In murine models, the overexpression of PRDM16 induced the formation of brownlike adipocytes only in subcutaneous WAT as compared with omental (Ohno et al., 2012). To isolate ASCs, adipose tissue derived from liposuction involves mincing of the adipose tissue sample, digestion with collagenase, and extensive washing of the tissue with phosphate-buffered saline followed by centrifugation to separate the stromal population in the bottom layer of the pellet from the adipocytes in the top layer as shown in Fig. Nevertheless, macroscopically it is difficult to establish a clear histological separation of both tissues. Richard Sotornik, Jean-Luc Ardilouze, in Methods in Enzymology, 2014. Visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues differ not only in their distribution. aP2, adipocyte fatty acid binding protein; C/EBPα, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein α; C/EBPβ & δ, CCAAT/enhancer binding protein β & δ; CD36, fatty acid translocase; ECM, extracellular matrix; GLUT4, glucose transporter type 4; LPL, lipoprotein lipase; PPARγ, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ; Pref-1, preadipocyte factor-1; SREBP-1, sterol regulatory element binding protein-1. To note, AT is rich in angiogenic factors as well as endothelial cells, progenitors, and immune cells, which could contribute to the capillary extension. Nevertheless, subcutaneous and omental WAT could have distinct transdifferentiation abilities. We share our knowledge and peer-reveiwed research papers with libraries, scientific and engineering societies, and also work with corporate R&D departments and government entities. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is found in fetuses and newborn. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V. ScienceDirect ® is a registered trademark of Elsevier B.V.

Indeed, in vitro studies revealed that differentiating adipocytes and AT explants trigger blood vessel formation [52, 53] and that, in turn, AT endothelial cells (ECs) promote preadipocyte differentiation [54]. Furthermore, the existence of sensitive periods for changes in adipose tissue cellularity throughout life has been postulated. Obesity is a worldwide health problem. This cytokine influences on inflammation, apoptosis, cytotoxicity, synthesis of interleukin-1 and interleukin-6, and on adipocyte metabolism. By continuing you agree to the use of cookies. It is highly vascularized and contains a number of immune cells* such as B cells, mast cells, Tregs (T regulatory cells), macrophages, leukocytes, and lymphocytes. Adipose tissue contains several cell types, with the highest percentage of cells being adipocytes, which contain fat droplets. Researchers are studying way… Different groups have repeatedly observed a close spatial and temporal relationship between adipocyte formation and blood vessel formation whatever the species studied [2, 51]. The SVF pellet is then plated and expanded ex vivo. Recently, the potential role of brown AT as a secretory organ in the protection against obesity has been also recognized. Adipose tissue is split into two main types of connective tissue – white and brown – that store and burn energy respectively.

From: Encyclopedia of Endocrine Diseases (Second Edition), 2019, Xabier Unamuno, ... Victoria Catalán, in Encyclopedia of Endocrine Diseases (Second Edition), 2019. First, we characterized human AT-ECs as double positive for the membrane markers CD34 and CD31 [55]. It was observed that visceral abdominal obesity reduces the life expectancy of ~ 8 years. Figure 2. As a woman ages, especially once she reaches menopause, the breast tissue contains more adipose (fatty) tissue. How? It was observed the link between IL-6 and obesity, inflammation, and coronary heart disease. There are also described processes in adipose tissue involved in human health and diseases.

In the following pages of this lab unit, you will have an opportunity to examine a few (of the many) types of animal tissue. The adipose lineage originates from multipotent mesenchymal stem cells that develop into adipoblasts (Figure 2). The active brown adipose tissue in adult humans is present at discrete sites, such as in the upper trunk (in cervical, supraclavicular, paravertebral, pericardial, mediastinal, and mesenteric areas) [1]. The expansion of adipose tissue during the development of obesity is often accompanied by adipose tissue dysfunction, which in turn contributes to metabolic and endocrine derangements. Adipose (Fat) Tissue. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too. Factors exerting a direct effect on adipose mass. In this chapter, the metabolic and immunological consequences of adipose tissue dysfunction in obesity are discussed. White adipose, the most common type, provides insulation, serves as an energy store for times of starvation or great exertion, and forms pads between organs. Adipose Connective Tissue Although it is a bit confusing, loose connective tissue can be considered a parent category of specialized connective tissues. Adipose tissue synthesize and release also many others molecules: Resistin, retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4), vaspin, visfatin, omentin, chemerin, serum amyloid A (SAA), acylation stimulating protein (ASP), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), angiotensinogen, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hepatocyte growth factor, transforming growth factor-B (TGF-B), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), lipoprotein lipase, cholesterol ester transfer protein (CEPT), prostaglandins, estrogens, glucocorticoids, and apelin. Multipotent stem cells and adipoblasts, which are found during embryonic development, are still present postnatally. Adipose tissue (AT) is considered one of the largest endocrine organs in the body as well as an active tissue for cellular reactions and metabolic homeostasis rather than an inert tissue for energy storage. Isolation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) from lipoaspirates. In mammals, BAT is involved in process of thermogenesis. In patients with type 2 diabetes, obese with insulin resistance, and in patients with coronary heart disease, adiponectin is not expressed [2]. The formation and maintenance of adipose tissue is essential to many biological processes and when perturbed leads to significant diseases. We are IntechOpen, the world's leading publisher of Open Access books. Recent observations regarding the occurrence of apoptosis in WAT have changed the traditional belief that acquisition of fat cells is irreversible. Hormones, cytokines, growth factors, and nutrients influence the dynamic changes related to adipose tissue mass as well as its pattern of distribution (Figure 4). Adipose tissue (AT) is a very active organ, both metabolically and hormonally. That's a scientific way of saying that brown fat burns fat to produce heat. Moreover, we will elaborate on the possible link between adipose tissue dysfunction and lung diseases. Freshly dissociated ASCs are also usually associated with different types of cells such as endothelial cells, fibroblasts, preadipocytes, mast cells, and cells from the smooth muscle. Intraabdominal adipose tissues include the visceral adipose tissue located around the digestive organs (mesenteric and omental) and the retroperitoneal depot (kidney), which together account for ~ 20% of total body fat6,7 (Fig. It secretes, for example, cholesterol, retinol, steroid hormones, prostaglandins, and proteins known as “adipokines.” Some of these molecules may be associated with pathologies such as obesity, insulin resistance. We have studied the effects of human adult AT excessive development on AT-derived endothelial network. AT possesses a relatively dense network of blood capillaries, with almost every adipocyte surrounded by one capillary, ensuring adequate exposure to nutrients and oxygen.

Its expression depends on the distribution of adipose tissue in the human body. It is important to note that adipose tissue is made up of many cell types that serve different functions. This suggests that, unlike WAT, insulin may suppress BMAT development. Adipose Tissue Cells which accumulate fat are often present in loose connective tissue, either singly or in small groups. Interleukin-6 is synthesized by many cell types and different tissues, including white adipose tissue. William P. Cawthorn, in Encyclopedia of Bone Biology, 2020. This scenario has opened the concept of “browning” of AT that seems to be dependent from the recruitment of brown progenitors and the transdifferentiation of white adipocytes in brown. In fact, the number of cells contained in the stromal vascular fraction of adipose tissue outnumbers adipocytes by ~ 3 to 1. Types of Loose Connective Tissue. These incongruent findings suggest that insulin regulation of BMAT development may be context-dependent, with insulin promoting BMAd formation and lipogenesis in normal development and physiology, whereas insulin resistance, coincident with broader metabolic dysregulation, might facilitate aberrant BMAT expansion. In this case, adipocytes may be four times their normal size. These different tissues have different morphology, biochemical features, and functions. AT is traditionally classified as WAT and BAT. Adipose tissue is formed at stereotypic times and locations in a diverse array of organisms. In the process, the cells become rounder. (B) The vast majority of … Therefore, any alteration of ATBF with obesity and/or insulin resistance will impact metabolic and hormonal AT functions. Coralie Sengenès, ... Anne Bouloumié, in Global Perspectives on Childhood Obesity, 2011. Depot-specific analysis reveals a class of adipocyte progenitors unique to visceral adipose tissue, which shares common features with beige preadipocytes. Adipose tissue is a form of loose connective tissue that stores fat. Metabolic, hormonal, and vascular processes within AT are highly interconnected and any disruption will invariably impact the others. Juergen Eckel, in The Cellular Secretome and Organ Crosstalk, 2018. Hence, it is tempting to propose that angiogenesis within AT would be necessary to counteract hypoxia. This technique can be combined with local microinfusion protocols, and the combination allows for precise assessment of mechanisms implicated in ATBF regulation. These cells include endothelial cells, leukocytes, lymphocytes, and other immune cells (Fig. The mechanisms underlying AT dysfunctionality include adipocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia, AT inflammation, impaired extracellular matrix remodeling and fibrosis together with an altered secretion of adipokines. By making research easy to access, and puts the academic needs of the researchers before the business interests of publishers. It is also interesting to note that the expansion of AT results in hypoxia and increased levels of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) that, in turn leads to an up-regulation of various inflammatory adipokines [27, 66–70]. (2017). The tissue is composed of nerve cells (neurons), each of which is made up of a cell body and cell processes that carry impulses toward (dendrites) or away from (axons) the cell body. Obesity increases the risk of many diseases such as diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and so on. Evidence for two types of brown adipose tissue in humans Martin E. Lidell, Matthias J. Betz, Olof Dahlqvist Leinhard, Mikael Heglind, Louise Elander, Marc Slawik, Thomas Mussack, Daniel Nilsson, Thobias Romu, Pirjo Nuutila, Kirsi A. Virtanen, Felix Beuschlein, Anders Persson, Magnus Borga and Sven Enerbäck Linköping University Post Print N.B. Leptin is a peptide hormone synthesized and released mainly by adipose tissue. It is suggested that this pathology is due to release of fatty acids from visceral depot into the portal vein, increasing gluconeogenesis, and hepatic glucose output. It alters intracellular insulin signaling and induces insulin resistance. There are two types of fat cells: White Fat Cells, which are the most common type in adults.These are unilocular (have a single large lipid droplet), have a large diameter (100µm or more), and are found in subcutaneous, omentum & mesentry regions. It is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of ≥30 kg/m2, and abdominal obesity is defined as waist circumference > 102 cm for men and > 88 cm for women. With age, the amount of brown fat decreases progressively. The capacity for cell proliferation and differentiation is highest during the first year of life, while it is less pronounced in the years before puberty. Adipose Tissue . Its specific role is due to uniquely expressed in mitochondria of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1). Adipose tissue is a highly dynamic, metabolically active organ involved in a multitude of physiological processes. The active brown adipose tissue in adult humans is present at discrete sites, such as in the upper trunk (in cervical, supraclavicular, paravertebral, pericardial, mediastinal, and mesenteric areas) . 1B). Under a microscope, the white and brown cells have slightly different physical structures a… Adipocytes differentiate from stellate or fusiform precursor cells of mesenchymal origin. Adiponectin is highly expressed in adipocytes. (2017a); El Hadi et al. Adipose tissue cellularity. Adipose tissue is composed of cells called adipocytes that collect and store … The vast majority of the adipose tissue mass is composed of adipocytes (approximately 60%). Adipose tissue, one type of loose connective tissue, stores fat and acts as a cushion for other body structures and as a store of energy for later use. A number of excellent reviews were published on this topic in recent years, and the interested reader will find detailed descriptions of the biology and function of brite adipose tissue and BAT in these papers: Aldiss et al. Beige (brite–from “brown in white”) adipocytes have multilocular lipid droplets in the cytoplasm, numerous mitochondria as well as several intermediate features between WAT and BAT. In mammals, two types of adipose tissue exist: white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT). White adipose stores energy and helps to insulate the body. (2017); Chen et al. Adipocytes, are fat cells. Mammals have two different types of adipose: white adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue. The evidence that obesity can be regarded as an inflammatory disease comes from numerous studies showing a moderate increase of circulating inflammatory factors in obese patients and the identification of different types of immune cells infiltrating the human adipose tissue. Available from: Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland. According to this theory, particular physiologic conditions, such as cold exposure, are able to induce the differentiation of white adipocytes into brown cells. Adipocytes, i.e., cells presenting lipid droplets where lipids are stored as triglycerides, represent the major cell type. (2017); Fernandez-Quintela et al. (2017); Fernandez-Quintela et al. Login to your personal dashboard for more detailed statistics on your publications. The reticulum cells store fat droplets that later coalesce to form one large drop. The morphological and functional changes that take place in the course of adipogenesis represent a shift in transcription factor expression and activity leading from a primitive, multipotent state to a final phenotype characterized by alterations in cell shape and lipid accumulation. White adipose tissue (WAT) store of lipids and during fasting, the release of fatty acids that in process of β-oxidation, is the source of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Visceral adipose tissue is located near the digestive organs and includes the omental and mesenteric adipose tissue depots. Cinti and coworkers proposed the transdifferentiation theory to explain why white and brown adipocytes are present within the same depot (Cinti, 2009). Their color is derived from the abundance of blood vessels and mitochondria in the tissue. AT dysfunctionality is clearly associated to the onset of important pathologies including obesity, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia or nonalcoholic fatty liver. White adipose tissue:White adipose tissue (WAT) provides your body with energy, insulation, and protection, and is generally found around the hips, thighs, belly, or buttocks. Areolar Connective Tissue. tissues and anchors organs in place. : 2. In contrast, mice lacking the insulin receptor in bone have fewer BMAds in the proximal tibia (Irwin et al., 2006), whereas mice with adipose tissue-specific insulin receptor knockout have smaller BMAds (Qiang et al., 2016). Help us write another book on this subject and reach those readers. The levels of this protein are higher in subcutaneous adipose tissue than in visceral adipose tissue. In addition, brown fat cells themselves have a very unique cellular and molecular composition. Therefore, the excessive growth of human adult AT is associated with an extension of its vasculature. BMAT expansion coincides with insulin resistance (Walji et al., 2016) and BMAT is increased in animal models of diabetes (Kim and Schafer, 2016). We identify multiple types of adipocyte progenitors that are common across depots, including a subtype enriched in individuals with type 2 diabetes. In mammals, BAT is involved in process of thermogenesis. This scenario has opened the concept of “browning” of AT that seems to be dependent from the recruitment of brown progenitors and the transdifferentiation of white adipocytes in brown. Adipose tissue is located in several anatomical locations. In this regard, two peaks of accelerated adipose mass enlargement have been established, namely after birth and between 9 and 13 years of age. (2017a); Chu and Gawronska-Kozak (2017); Chu and Tao (2017); Cinti (2017); Contreras et al. Subcutaneous adipose tissue is located under the skin and includes the abdominal and gluteal–femoral depots. 1A). P.S. Browning of white adipose tissue is an adaptive and reversible response of WAT to stimuli. Initially, excess energy storage starts as hypertrophic obesity resulting from the accumulation of excess lipid in a normal number of unilocular adipose cells. The functional pleiotropism of AT relies on its ability to synthesize and release a large number of hormones, cytokines, extracellular matrix proteins and growth and vasoactive factors, collectively termed adipokines, that influence a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes. As mentioned above, visceral adipose tissue secretes adipokines that may cause lipotoxicity in peripheral tissues. In white adipocytes, the mitochondria, which are few in number and low in activity, appear thin and elongated and have few cristae. At the sites of early fat development, a multilocular morphology of adipocytes predominates, reflecting the early developmental stage. If the positive energy balance is maintained, a hyperplasic or hypercellular obesity characterized by a greater than normal number of cells is developed. There are many other cell types present in the adipose tissue. Activation of brown fat leads to increased energy expenditure, reduced obesity, and lower plasma glucose and lipid levels and exerts a prominent beneficial effect on metabolic homeostasis. Moreover, several groups reported that AT growth in adult mice could be impaired with angiogenesis inhibitors [56–59]. For example, if a tissue has more elastin it will be stretchy. The lack of reliable cell surface marker antigen for the enrichment of ASCs is the problem in isolating a pure ASC population. We will address the brown fat secretome and its specific properties in the following subsections. Reports from different independent groups (Granneman et al., 2005) confirmed the transdifferentiation theory by analyzing the number of white and brown adipocytes and apoptosis markers. ASCs can be purified based on the expression profile of surface marker antigens like bone marrow MSCs. On your publications Jean-Luc Ardilouze, in Global Perspectives on Childhood obesity 2011.
