Marrow Adipose Tissue

Marrow Adipose Tissue: is a unique fat depot in the bone marrow and has a close relationship with hematopoiesis and bone homeostasis. Marrow adipose tissue exhibits a considerable adaptive plasticity and secretes a broad spectrum of hormones. MAT accounts for up to 70% of human bone marrow volume but is not distributed uniformly around the skeleton. Instead it's predominately found in the arms and legs.
