Therefore, it must be equipped with a defense mechanism connected with the activation of innate immunity. This explains the phenomenon that adipocytes express components of the classical and alternative complement pathways, which can be activated even in the absence of opportunistic pathogens. Terminal stages of the complement pathway are related to the production of membrane attack complexes and, thus, can cause lysis of pathogens, as well as autolysis of host adipocytes, contributing to the regulation of the cellularity in WAT. Complement-induced autolysis of adipocytes is counteracted by a number of cellular defense mechanisms. This versatility of activation and suppression processes enables a broad range of adaptability to physiological contexts, ranging from the development of hypertrophic WAT to lipodystrophy. Pathogen-induced activation of the complement pathway in WAT also induces a profibrotic phenotype. These processes may also be involved in the regulation of insulin resistance in adipocytes. This explains the dual immune/metabolic role of the complement pathway in WAT: the pathway is an integral part of the immune response but also potently involved in the control of volume and cellularity of WAT under both physiological and pathological conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":215,"journal":{"name":"Obesity","volume":"33 5","pages":"839-850"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/oby.24270","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143712604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The distribution of body fat, especially ectopic fat deposition, plays a crucial role in the development of chronic metabolic diseases. Under normal conditions, fatty acids are primarily stored in subcutaneous adipose tissue; however, excessive intake can lead to fat accumulation in visceral adipose tissue and ectopic sites, including the pancreas, heart, and muscle. This redistribution is associated with disruptions in energy metabolism, inflammation, and insulin resistance, impairing organ function and raising the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and fatty liver. This review explores the roles of visceral and ectopic fat in the development of insulin resistance and related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Specifically, we examine the structure and characteristics of different fat types, their associations with disease, and the underlying pathogenic mechanisms.
