Abstract
The first major role of adipose tissue (AT) is the storage and release of lipids depending on the energy balance. In addition to its key role in maintaining body energy homeostasis the AT is now recognized as an endocrine organ. Both metabolic and secretory functions require constant interactions between the blood compartment and adipocytes highlighting the importance of the AT vascular network. Ignored for a long time, the functionality and integrity of the AT vascular network appears to play an important role in the AT plasticity and functions. This chapter describes the literature data on the AT vascular network and its role in controlling the metabolic and secretory activities of AT in relation to blood flow. The potential mechanisms involved in the remodeling of AT vascular network are considered. The physiological and pathological consequences of AT vascular remodeling are discussed.
