(n.) A soft, unctuous, or waxy substance, of a light brown color, into which the fat and muscle tissue of dead bodies sometimes are converted, by long immersion in water or by burial in moist places. It is a result of fatty degeneration.

(20) Microbial synthesis of hydroxy and oxo fatty acids was studied as one of the model of experimental adipocere formation.
Adipose
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to animal fat; fatty.
Example Sentences:
(1) To estimate the age of onset of these differences, and to assess their relationship to abdominal and gluteal adipocyte size, we measured adiposity, adipocyte size, and glucose and insulin concentrations during a glucose tolerance test in lean (less than 20% body fat), prepubertal children from each race.
(2) Subcutaneous adipose tissue extracellular glucose was investigated in vivo in man with a microdialysis technique.
(3) There was also a significant increase in the mitochondrial proton conductance pathway of brown adipose tissue, assessed from the binding of guanosine diphosphate (GDP) to mitochondria isolated from the interscapular (89% above control) and perirenal and para-aortic depots (130%).
(4) The results obtained on fat cell membranes from abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue demonstrated the following.
(5) GC using the capillary columns proved suitable for mapping of the carbohydrate profile of human seminal fluid and for the analyses of organic compounds accumulating in human adipose tissue.
(6) In combined groups of male runners and controls, there was a highly significant positive correlation between the serum HDL-cholesterol level and the LPL activity of adipose tissue expressed per tissue weight (r = +0.72, p less than 0.001) or per whole body fat (r = +0.62, p less than 0.001).
(7) The direct measurement of adiposity, using hydrostatic weighing and other techniques, is not feasible in studies involving young children or with large numbers of older subjects.
(8) Adipose, kidney, brain, heart and liver tissue lipids were analyzed.
(9) Somatostatin is not only an inhibitor of the secretion of these hormones but also a regulator of their biological action in adipose tissue.
(10) Throughout the hibernation season (October to April), white adipose tissue-saturated FA percentage decreased, monoene percentage remained constant, and diene percentage increased.
(11) The prostaglandin formation which occurs in adipose tissue during lipolysis is prevented by indomethacin and aspirin.
(12) In the dynamic phase the weight of interscapular brown adipose tissue was significantly increased in the VMH-lesioned rats, but the specific GDP binding was depressed both in the morning and afternoon when compared with either the sham-operated or PVN-lesioned groups.
(13) has been measured in adipose tissue from insulin-independent diabetics with hypertriglyceridaemia, non-diabetics with hypertriglyceridaemia and control patients, all of whom were obese.
(14) The results showed a significant rise in arterial free fatty acids concentration and an insignificant increase in adipose-tissue free fatty acids.
(15) We suggest that the rise in blood triglyceride concentrations, which accompanies high palsma estrogen levels, could be due to the marked inhibition of adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity.
(16) The low resistance of adipose tissue relative to muscle may be the physiologic basis for the dominance of fat-free mass in multiple regression analyses of blood pressure determinants in the population; it further suggests that in the obese hypertensive, fat tissue may provide protection against cardiovascular disease by limiting increases in total peripheral resistance.
