Question

The number of fat cells a person has is influenced by

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The greater number of fat cells in formerly obese people may be a factor in their tendency to regain the weight they lost. The same amount of fat is distributed across a larger number of the fat cells versus a small number of fat cells has the same weight and volume. But fatter fat cells produce more of the hormone “leptin,” which puts the body in a fat burning mode and makes us eat less. So, a smaller number of fatter fat cells protects against weight gain.

When you have a large number of fat cells, you have many fat cells with less fat in each. Smaller fat cells have an increased "fat-filling drive.” They favor fat storage and cause us to feel hungry. So when a person with a large number of fat cells loses weight, this results in less fat in each cell, and this makes the body fight to gain weight.
