Adipose Tissue |
This word refers to the type of tissue that
stores fat cells called 'adipocytes'. These adipocyte cells
release free fatty acids (FFA) into the bloodstream during prolonged
excercise to provide fuel for the body. The mobilization of this
fuel is called 'lypolysis'.
You don't need to know the technicalities of this, but it is good to know what this term means. |
