The colors of adipose tissue
Abstract
Adipose tissue is an endocrine organ with high metabolic activity. Countless adipose tissue-secreted adipokines and lipokines, as well as peptides and lipids with biological activity have thus far been discovered. Both white and brown and beige adipose tissue are known to contribute to energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation. The purpose of this review is to report on the most recent findings related to adipose tissue according to its color and its relationship with metabolic alterations associated with obesity. After a review of the specialized literature, white, brown and beige adipocyte populations were identified to be able to coexist within the same structure, and to modify global metabolic state in physiological or pathological situations.
El tejido adiposo es un órgano endocrino con gran actividad metabólica. A la fecha se han descubierto innumerables adipocinas y lipocinas, péptidos y lípidos con actividad biológica, secretadas por el tejido adiposo. Se sabe que tanto el tejido adiposo blanco como el pardo y el beige contribuyen a la homeostasis energética y a la regulación metabólica. Esta revisión tiene como finalidad comunicar los hallazgos más recientes relativos al tejido adiposo según su color y la relación de este con las alteraciones metabólicas asociadas con la obesidad. Después de la revisión de la literatura especializada, se identificó que en una misma estructura pueden coexistir poblaciones blancas, pardas y beige, que modifican el estado metabólico global en situaciones fisiológicas o patológicas.
Keywords: Adipocito; Adipocyte; Adipose tissue; Metabolism; Metabolismo; Tejido adiposo.
