Abstract
Adipose tissue (AT) has for a long time been regarded as a simple storage tissue for energy in the form of triglycerides. There is currently accumulating scientific evidence that adipose tissue is a highly active organ, that actively takes part in regulating several metabolic processes, including reproduction, inflammatory response, and production and secretion of signalling molecules that have important biological roles, also known as adipokines. These most importantly include tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukins, leptin and adiponectin.
