Adipose tissue in meat Adipose tissue Specialized sites occur in tissues for lipid storage.
Most cells have similar metabolic pathways for synthesis of fat.
Adipose tissue can withstand hypoxia. It is organized into lobules or clusters of cells surrounded by connective tissue and is analogus to perimysium. Amount of connective tissue around a lobule depends on location . If deeper then the fat has less matrix i.e. subcutaneous fat has more structure than kidney fat. The fat depot distinctions may be unclear.
