Adipose tissue is the tissue in
which the fat is stored.
Adipose tissue is a connective
tissue that contains adipocytes. Adipose tissue is mainly found under the skin
and can also be found around internal organs where it provides protective
padding. Adipose tissue functions as the major storage site for fat in the form
of triglycerides. White adipose tissue and brown adipose tissue are the two
different forms of adipose tissue found in mammals.
