Britannica online encyclopedia article on white adipose cell (biology), connective-tissue cell specialized to synthesize and contain large globules of fat. There are two types of adipose cells: white adipose cells contain large fat droplets, only a small amount of cytoplasm, and flattened, noncentrally located nuclei;

Rat adipose cells were preincubated for 2 min with or without isoprenaline (200 nM) and adenosine deaminase (1 unit/ml), to stimulate G(s) and decrease the stimulation of G(i) respectively, followed by 0-20 min with insulin (670 nM). Treatment with isoprenaline and adenosine deaminase decreased insulin-stimulated...

Infection of adipose cells to HIV-1 was then investigated. The measurement of the viral p24 antigen in preadipocyte culture medium showed an increase of p24 levels between 24 and 72 h postexposure and then a progressive decrease to reach a low level at 10-15 days.

We're still trying to determine if it's a direct effect on the adipose cells and how they differentiate or proliferate, or whether it's a disruption of the endocrine feedback loops.

Unilocular cells contain a single large lipid droplet which pushes the cell nucleus against the plasma membrane, giving the cell a signet-ring shape (Figure 1). Unilocular cells, characteristic of white adipose tissue, range in size from 25 to 200 microns.
