Fat cells

Japanese: 脂肪細胞
Fat cells
These cells store fat in adipose tissue. More than 90% of their weight becomes fat. They secrete hormones such as TNF-α, leptin, resistin, and adiponectin, as well as physiologically active peptides, and are therefore attracting attention as an important tissue in metabolic regulation.
