More information
- Adipose tissue is basically located under the skin (subcutaneous fat), but is also present around internal organs (visceral fat), between muscles and in the bone marrow.
- One kg of adipose stores ~7000 kcal, enough to provide the complete energy needs of an average woman for 3 days. Thus, a normal weight 60 kg woman with 30% body fat (18 kg) has the equivalent of 2 months of energy stored in adipose tissue!
