espanolEl tejido adiposo es un organo endocrino con gran actividad metabolica. A la fecha se han descubierto innumerables adipocinas y lipocinas, peptidos y lipidos con actividad biologica, secretadas por el tejido adiposo. Se sabe que tanto el tejido adiposo blanco como el pardo y el beige contribuyen a la homeostasis energetica y a la regulacion metabolica. Esta revision tiene como finalidad comunicar los hallazgos mas recientes relativos al tejido adiposo segun su color y la relacion de este con las alteraciones metabolicas asociadas a la obesidad. Despues de la revision de la literatura especializada, se identifico que en una misma estructura pueden coexistir poblaciones blancas, pardas y beige, que modifican el estado metabolico global en situaciones fisiologicas o patologicas. EnglishAdipose tissue is an endocrine organ with high metabolic activity. Countless adipose tissue-secreted adipokines and lipokines, as well as peptides and lipids with biological activity have thus far been discovered. Both white and brown and beige adipose tissue are known to contribute to energy homeostasis and metabolic regulation. The purpose of this review is to report on the most recent findings related to adipose tissue according to its color and its relationship with metabolic alterations associated with obesity. After a review of the specialized literature, white, brown and beige adipocyte populations were identified to be able to coexist within the same structure, and to modify global metabolic state in physiological or pathological situations.
