More recently, the endocrine function of adipose tissue has been discovered. In addition to adipocytes, adipose tissue contains numerous other cells that are able to produce certain hormones in response to signals from the rest of the organs throughout the body. Through the actions of these hormones, adipose tissue plays an important role in the regulation of glucose , cholesterol and the metabolism of sex hormones. A number of different hormones are released from adipose tissue and these are responsible for different functions within the body.
Examples of these are:. Both too much and too little adipose tissue can have severe health implications. More commonly, too much adipose tissue leads to obesity, mainly from too much visceral fat. Obesity leads to a number of serious health problems.
Obesity increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes as it causes the body to become resistant to insulin. This resistance results in high levels of blood sugar, which is bad for health. Obesity also increases the chance of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels and an increased tendency for blood to clot.
All of these raise the risk of heart attacks and stroke. In eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa , the patient does not eat enough food to maintain their adipose tissues levels.
