Adipose Tissue Mobilization Signals

Meaning

Adipose Tissue Mobilization Signals are the specific hormonal and neurological cues that initiate the process of lipolysis, which is the breakdown of stored triglycerides in fat cells. These signals communicate the body’s need for energy, prompting the release of free fatty acids into the bloodstream for utilization by other tissues. Efficient signaling is crucial for maintaining metabolic flexibility and managing body composition effectively. Dysregulation in these pathways can contribute significantly to unwanted fat accumulation and metabolic syndrome.
