Adipocytes are substantially larger than most body cells, being nearly large enough to view with the naked eye. [[Special:Contributions/66.233.132.60|66.233.132.60]] ([[User talk:66.233.132.60|talk]]) 16:55, 22 July 2012 (UTC) |

Are Brown adipocytes and Brown adipose tissue the same - in that case wouldn't a merge be the best? --Abdull 10:03, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
Where is the diagram!?
Can anyone please upload some diagrams of fat cells to this page? Thanks! ;-)--Edmundkh 10:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Difference between male fat cell and female fat cell!?
I seem to heard that male fat cell and female fat cell are different. If so, can anyone please enclose different diagrams for these two types of fat cells. Thanks! Furthermore, I heard that this difference make women be troubled by cellulite.--Edmundkh 10:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Please clarify "size". Are these linear or volume measurements, or a mixture of the two?
"A typical fat cell is 0.1mm in diameter with some being twice that size and others half that size."
Comment: Is that twice the diameter or twice the volume? A cell that is twice the diameter will have 8 times the volume and mass.
"fat cells increase in size about fourfold"
Comment: Is that four times the diameter or four times the volume? A cell that is four times the diameter will have 64 times the volume and mass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.254.131.239 (talk) 18:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
Comment : According to Int J Obes. 1978;2(1):33-45. , "The normal adipocyte volume in ideal weight persons without metabolic disease is in the order of 0.3 nL". Maybe the part about the typical fat cell being 0.1mm in diameter should be replaced with this information? 77.58.246.203 (talk) 19:15, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
I think liposuction article implies fat cells are destroyed by the procedure
it talks about how fat cells get "ruptured" in order to suck out the fat. But this article says that fat removal treatments don't affect number of fat cells. Perhaps it is only natural weight loss that doesn't affect it the number of cells while liposuction does? 76.119.30.87 (talk) 23:30, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Size of a Adipocyte
In the text "A typical fat cell is 0.1mm in diameter", .1mm is 100 micro meters, which seems much too large for a "typical" size. Can someone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adpatter (talk • contribs) 00:50, 28 June 2012 (UTC) Adipocytes are substantially larger than most body cells, being nearly large enough to view with the naked eye. 66.233.132.60 (talk) 16:55, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
