does adipose tissue secrete estrogen
The adipocytes of white adipose tissue secrete several hormones, including leptin and adiponectin. In addition to serving as a major source of energy reserves, white adipose tissue also provides some mechanical protection and insulation to the body.rown adipose tissue is present in small mammals (e.g., mice) and in newborn humans. Most of it disappears in adult humans. The cells in both types of fat are called adipocytes although they differ in origin, structure, and function in the two types of tissue.
