Fat is stored throughout the body in fat cells known as adipocytes. The number of adipocytes an individual has is determined by late adolescence and rarely changes during adulthood. However, fat cells can increase and decrease in size depending on the amount of fat that the body is storing.
The main cells that store fat in the triglyceride form are called adipocytes, or simply fat cells. White adipose cells store fat for use as energy, whereas brown adipose tissue is merely used to create heat and is not relevant as an energy store. Adipocytes are generally found around the body under the skin and also in the abdominal cavity, surrounding the internal organs.
