Excerpt from the article: Fat cells, or adipocytes, contain droplets of fat that can be stored and used for energy. When fat is
being stored, adipocytes swell and become round in shape. When fat is being used, these cells shrink in size. Fat cells also produce hormones. These can help regulate blood pressure, fat storage, blood clotting and cell signaling.
