MSH: Fatty tissue composed of WHITE ADIPOCYTES and generally found directly under the skin (SUBCUTANEOUS FAT) and around the internal organs (ABDOMINAL FAT). It has less vascularization and less coloration than the BROWN FAT. White fat provides heat insulation, mechanical cushion, and source of energy.,FMA: Adipose tissue, cells of which contain a single large lipid droplet.,UWDA: Adipose tissue, cells of which contain a single large lipid droplet.,NCI: Adipose tissue that collects, stores and releases fat in the form of triglycerides. It functions as a heat insulator, mechanical cushion and as a source of energy. White adipose tissue is composed of adipocytes that secrete leptin and other substances that effect energy homeostasis. Its distribution in the body is dependent on the sex of the individual. (NCI),NCI: Adipose tissue that collects, stores and releases fat in the form of triglycerides. It functions as a heat insulator, mechanical cushion and as a source of energy. White adipose tissue is composed of
