HYPERTROPHIC
OBESITY
|
HYPERPLASTIC
OBESITY
|
|
1. Cell size increases.
|
1. Cell number increases.
|
|
2. Adipose tissue are larger than normal.
|
2. More of the adipose cells are present.
|
|
3. It is strongly correlated with diet.
|
3. It depends on genetics more.
|
|
4. It occurs early in the obesity progression to meet the need for
additional fat storage capacity.
|
4. It is triggered by hypertrophy.
|
|
5. Main contributor to fat as mass increases.
|
5. Does not contribute much to obesity because it occurs in small
cells that have smaller volume of fat stored.
|
|
6. Some specific metabolic properties e.g., insulin resistance, and
adipokine secretion depend on the precise cell-size distribution rather than
the mean cell size.
|
6. Such metabolic properties does not depend on cell number.
