Lipogenesis mechanism in different white adipose tissue

[Adrien]

First post, hello to everybody!

I am interested in the mechanisms determining fat distribution in the body. Is there a documented difference in white adipose tissue in various location of the body?

There are countless studies on the association of fat distribution and other factors, but very little information about molecular mechanisms and causality.

 

Any help / reading suggestions are welcome.

Hi I'm also new here

although adipose and other tissue substances are not my prefered field

I do know that in different locations of the body various adipose deposits that minor area fats serve the purpose of providing the brain with feedback abou health, diet e.t.c whilst Epicardial fat (if present) surrounds the heart and affects cardiac function but Subcutaneous fat which lies under the hypodermis provides some insulation
