Adipose Tissue Signaling Phase

Meaning

The Adipose Tissue Signaling Phase refers to specific periods where fat tissue actively releases or modulates the secretion of adipokines and hormones, influencing systemic metabolism and endocrine balance. Adipose tissue is not merely an energy storage depot; it functions as a highly active endocrine organ. This phase highlights the temporal and context-dependent shifts in its secretory profile, impacting insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and satiety. Understanding this phase is critical for managing metabolic health and weight regulation.
