Invited review: Pre- and postnatal adipose tissue development in farm animals: from stem cells to adipocyte physiology [PDF]
Animal, 2016 Both white and brown adipose tissues are recognized to be differently involved in energy metabolism and are also able to secrete a variety of factors called adipokines that are involved in a wide range of physiological and metabolic functions.
