BROCHURE Obesitas Cells or Adipose Cells lie in the subcutaneous connective tissue. Their function is to temporarily store fatty acids, extracted from food by the intestines, if those fatty acids are not needed for physical labour yet. These cells assemble fatty acids into fat (fat synthesis) and store this as tiny globules. This fat can be decomposed again to fatty acids by enzymes when the body needs this. In the long run the capability of these cells to provide fat becomes inactive. Weight losing methods do affect active Adipose cells, hardly affect inactive cells. The inactive Adipose cells are located at hips, buttocks, thighs, near the knee-joints, calves and ankles, at the abdomen, in the nape of the neck.

ADIPOSE CELLS BECOME INACTIVE
Those Adipose cells that are never claimed to deliver their stored fat become inactive.The circulation in the thinnest blood vessels and in the lymphatic vessels is insufficient, the capillary conductibility changes, the subcutaneous connective tissue converts. This process proceeds in 4 steps from bad to worse:
