Abstract

Adipocytes show an extraordinarily efficient capacity to trigger and receive information from the environment. These cells are connected to a central data processor (our central nervous system), and seem to interact constantly with our immune system in producing an appropriate response of the body to external (infection, energy excess or deficit) and internal (stress, decreased substrate availability) stimuli. The system of intracrine, paracrine and endocrine signals used by adipocytes in this task is briefly summarized.
