Hypertrophic adipose tissue refers to the enlargement of fat cells, a hallmark of obesity. As an individual gains weight, adipocytes (fat cells) expand to store excess energy, leading to an increase in overall fat mass. This enlargement can result in inflammation and metabolic dysfunction, further exacerbating obesity-related health problems such as insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. Understanding the biological mechanisms behind hypertrophic adipose tissue helps in developing targeted treatments for obesity. Approaches like weight loss, exercise, and diet interventions aim to reduce fat cell size and improve metabolic health, offering a pathway to manage and prevent obesity-related complications.
