The intrinsic cellular and metabolic properties of an adipocyte are shaped by the specific niche in which it resides. The diverse and discrete locations of major and minor rodent adipose depots are depicted in Part I. In Part II, the molecular and functional characteristics of four major types of adipocytes are described. Identified functions of relatively understudied but undoubtedly important depots are also highlighted.
