Is known to promote fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase
What promotes fat storage in adipocytes?
Lipoprotein lipase is what promotes the fat storage in adipocytes. This is an enzyme that is water-soluble and is in charge of hydrolyzing the lipoprotein's triglycerides.
Cells that store fat are called?
Adipocytes [fat cells] (and adipose tissues) store fat.
Where are fats stood in the body?
Fat cells known as adipocytes, often in the liver.
Can adipocytes get larger?
Adipocytes do get larger. Actually when animals including humans get fat they do not elevate the number of adipocytes in their body they just have larger adipocytes. Adipocytes do not multiply in an adult body they just get larger or they shrink according to how much fat they store.
What kind of cells store fats?
an 'Adipocyte' (fat cell), sometimes simply called adipose, are cells that specialise in fat storage. adipose tissue is a mainly made up of adipocytes. that is why adipose tissue is often referred to as fatty tissue, because the adipose tissue is made up of adipocytes which have fat stored in them. when you hear the word adipose its generally referring to fat, and remember lipid is another word for fat. eg : if something is lipid soluble, it means that it is fat soluble (able to disolve in fats/lipids). so i believe the answer to your question is adipocytes.
Does growth hormone cause fat accumulation within adipocytes?
No.
If mature adipocytes do not divide how can adults gain weight?
Adipocytes contain a fat-filled vacuole that can fill or empty, causing the cell to gain or lose volume.
How is weight gain accomplished with adipocytes?
The amount of stored fat into the cell increases.
What organelle contain an adipocyte or fat cell?
Maybe the same as a typical cell, but being a fat storage, the mitochondria should be lesser and it should have a larger cytoplasm to store all those lipids...
How was camels hump mountain formed?
A collection of specialised fat storage cells called adipocytes store fat in a camel's hump. When in long journeys, fat is burned as a source of energy and water is produced in that process, making it an excellent adaptation for that long term desert dwelling animal.
What tissue is Specialized for fat storage?
There really isn't a type of tissue specialized for storing fat. Fat is a tissue. It is made from cells called adipocytes. Fat's scientific name is adipose tissue. Your body needs it for insulation, cushioning and protecting vital organs. It can also be used as a form of energy in cellular respiration.
