What Are the Histological Features of Adipocytes During Lipolysis?
Under the microscope, adipocytes undergoing lipolysis exhibit several characteristic features. These cells appear smaller as their lipid droplets shrink due to the breakdown of triglycerides. The cytoplasm becomes more prominent, and the cell membrane may show indentations. Additionally, the nucleus, which is usually pushed to the periphery due to the large lipid droplet, may appear more central as the lipid content decreases.
