Journal Title：Adipocyte

Adipocyte recognizes that the adipose tissue is the largest endocrine organ in the body, and explores the link between dysfunctional adipose tissue and the growing number of chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Historically, the primary function of the adipose tissue was limited to energy storage and thermoregulation. However, a plethora of research over the past 3 decades has recognized the dynamic role of the adipose tissue and its contribution to a variety of physiological processes including reproduction, angiogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, blood pressure, coagulation, fibrinolysis, immunity and general metabolic homeostasis. The field of Adipose Tissue research has grown tremendously, and Adipocyte is the first international peer-reviewed journal of its kind providing a multi-disciplinary forum for research focusing exclusively on all aspects of adipose tissue physiology and pathophysiology. Adipocyte accepts high-profile submissions in basic, translational and clinical research.

Adipocyte 认识到脂肪组织是人体最大的内分泌器官，并探讨了功能失调的脂肪组织与越来越多的慢性疾病（包括糖尿病、高血压、心血管疾病和癌症）之间的联系。从历史上看，脂肪组织的主要功能仅限于能量储存和体温调节。然而，过去 3 年的大量研究已经认识到脂肪组织的动态作用及其对多种生理过程的贡献，包括生殖、血管生成、细胞凋亡、炎症、血压、凝血、纤维蛋白溶解、免疫和一般代谢稳态.脂肪组织研究领域取得了巨大的发展，《脂肪细胞》是第一个国际同行评审期刊，为专门关注脂肪组织生理学和病理生理学各个方面的研究提供了一个多学科论坛。 Adipocyte 接受基础、转化和临床研究领域的高调提交。
