Adipose tissue is the largest reservoir of fuel, storing energy in the form of rapidly utilizable triglycerides.
Adipocytes synthesize and store energy in periods of nutritional abundance and mobilize lipids during starvation and other times of need.
The switch from energy storage to expenditure is finely regulated by a variety of hormones.
In order to accomplish these complex tasks energy balance, adipocytes express many genes, including adipsin, involved in lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis.
Many of these genes are finely regulated during adipocyte differentiation and maturation.
Several adipocyte-derived proteins act in an autocrine or paracrine fashion to control its own and other cell's cellular physiology.
Adipsin is a serine protease that is secreted by adipocytes.
It is deficient in several animal model of obesity.
Adipsin has now been identified as the same protein as complement factor D.
