The term 'adipose expansion' is now often used to mean 'hyperplasia', i.e. an increase in 'healthy' fat storage capacity by increasing the number of adipocytes. Hypertrophy of adipocytes is thought to 'inevitably' lead to the metabolic complications of obesity. However, depot, sex and species differences in these processes show that these relationships are more complex. New insights into the underlying mechanisms of adipose expansion and implications for adipocyte function will be discussed.
The seminar is hosted by Associate Professor Janne Lebeck, Department of Biomedicine, Health, Aarhus University.
