White adipose tissue (WAT) or white fat is one of the two types of adipose tissue found in mammals.In healthy, non-overweight humans, white adipose tissue composes as much as 20% of the body weight in men and 25% of the body weight in women. Its cells contain a single large fat droplet, which forces the nucleus to be squeezed into a thin rim at the periphery. They have receptors for insulin, growth hormones, norepinephrine, and glucocorticoids.White adipose tissue is used as a store of energy. Upon release of insulin from the pancreas, white adipose cells' insulin receptors cause a dephospho-rylation cascade that lead to the inactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase.White adipose tissue also acts as a thermal insulator, helping to maintain body temperature.The hormone leptin is primarily manufactured in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue.
