Impact of metabolic pathways on adipocyte inflammation.

Cell type Metabolic pathway and impact
Adipocyte White adipose tissue:
Glycolysis; unlocks dormant adipocyte inflammatory vigor19
Fatty acid oxidation; supports reduction in triglyceride content and inflammation206
Brown adipose tissue:
Glycolysis; needed to achieve maximum thermogenic output207
