Adipocytes (or fat cells) are special cells in the body that are mostly filled up with triacylglycerol in the form of oil droplets. Adipocytes fill the adypocyte tissue (or fat tissue) which is present in number of places in the body. I am going to mention only two of them – the cavity of the abdomen and under the skin. The fat cells are our body temperature regulator and our energy storage room. In other words, they are the result of millions years of evolution and help us to keep warm and feel satiety.

Long – long time ago, when we were living in caves and we did not know if the food was going "to be delivered by lunch time" (or at all), our bodies synthesized fat as an insurance policy. In case of no food, we were able to draw from this energy reserve and survive. Also, fat deposits under the skin kept the heat within our body as they still do it today.

Fat is accumulated in the adipocytes by means of a) synthesis and b) storage.
