What is fat lobule?

A fat lobule, also known as an adipose lobule, is a structural unit of adipose tissue, which is the body's primary fat storage. Each lobule consists of clusters of adipocytes (fat cells) that store triglycerides, surrounded by a network of blood vessels and connective tissue. These lobules contribute to the overall function of adipose tissue in energy storage, insulation, and hormone regulation. Fat lobules vary in size and distribution throughout the body, influenced by factors such as genetics, diet, and hormonal balance.
