Distribution of white adipose tissue in the human body.


White adipose tissue (WAT) or white fat is one of the two types of adipose tissue found in mammals. The other kind is brown adipose tissue.


In healthy, non-overweight humans, white adipose tissue composes as much as 20% of the body weight in men and 25% in women. Its cells contain a single large fat droplet, which forces the nucleus to be squeezed into a thin rim at the periphery. They have receptors for insulin, sex hormones, norepinephrine, and glucocorticoids.


White adipose tissue is used for energy storage. Upon release of insulin from the pancreas, white adipose cells' insulin receptors cause a dephosphorylation cascade that lead to the inactivation of hormone-sensitive lipase. It was previously thought that upon release of glucagon from the pancreas, glucagon receptors cause a phosphorylation cascade that activates hormone-sensitive lipase, causing the breakdown of the stored fat to fatty acids, which are exported into the blood and bound to albumin, and glycerol, which is exported into the blood freely. There is actually no evidence at present that glucagon has any effect on lipolysis in white adipose tissue.[1]Glucagon is now thought to act exclusively on the liver to trigger glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.[2] The trigger for this process in white adipose tissue is instead now thought to be adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH),[3][4]adrenaline[5] and noradrenaline[citation needed]. Fatty acids are taken up by muscle and cardiac tissue as a fuel source, and glycerol is taken up by the liver for gluconeogenesis.


White adipose tissue also acts as a thermal insulator, helping to maintain body temperature.


The hormone leptin is primarily manufactured in the adipocytes of white adipose tissue[6] which also produces another hormone, asprosin.


Location---mainly found behind eyeball, kidney, omenta, mesentry, elephant and whale blubbers, hump of a camel, yellow bone marrow, fat bodies of frogs, tail of Marino sheep, hypodermis of skin.

JBPM : POST request for execute process go wrong

0 I am new to jBPM. I reference jbpm.org for tutorial. And I tried " My First Business Application " example. It is OK. And then I tried the next tutorial " Business Application with Business Asset ". The first steps are going well. I successfully done installation of jBPM Console, drawing business process asset in KIE process and starting the application are going well. And I tested according to reference. I got a problem for sending POST request to my application. I use Chrome Postman client for sending POST request. In tutorial, they give the following link to make POST request. http://localhost:8090/rest/server/containers/business-application-kjar/processes/business-application-kjar.process/instances I do but I always get " 415 Unsupported Media Type " in every time.
