Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Adipose tissue or fat tissue is an example of connective tissue, made up of adipocytes. It plays a role in the storage of energy, forming an insulating layer over the body, and provide support and protection to various organs, such as the kidney. Adipose tissues are of two types, white adipose tissues, and brown adipose tissues. Brown adipose tissues are associated with the generation of energy when required.
