  Mammals have evolved mechanisms to store energy during periods of plenty, which helps to guarantee survival during periods of drought and famine. The fatthriftiness accomplishes our ability to effectively detect, metabolize, and store fats. For so, variable amounts of extra fat are safely stored subcutaneously, either locally hip and thigh (in adults) or spread over total body subcutaneous (in children), where it confers a metabolically protective reserve in both genders and supports pregnancy and lactation in females. For so, dedicated fat-storing cells were necessary, because the tissues of the lean body mass lack the storage capacity to meet the fuel demands. Consequently, hypertrophy and hyperplasia of adipocytes can occur in energy surplus, with adipocyte hypertrophy controlling both, the differentiation of neo-adipocytes(increasing fat storage) and the local ..
