Adipocyte recognizes that the adipose tissue is the largest endocrine organ in the body, and explores the link between dysfunctional adipose tissue and the growing number of chronic diseases including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Historically, the primary function of the adipose tissue was limited to energy storage and thermoregulation. However, a plethora of research over the past 3 decades has recognized the dynamic role of the adipose tissue and its contribution to a variety of physiological processes including reproduction, angiogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, blood pressure, coagulation, fibrinolysis, immunity and general metabolic homeostasis. The field of Adipose Tissue research has grown tremendously, and Adipocyte is the first international peer-reviewed journal of its kind providing a multi-disciplinary forum for research focusing exclusively on all aspects of adipose tissue physiology and pathophysiology. Adipocyte accepts high-profile submissions in basic, translational and clinical research.
Adipocyte focuses on the following topics:
• Adipose tissue structure and development
• Adipogenesis, adipose stem cells
• Adipose inflammation, immune cells
• Insulin resistance and diabetes
• Metabolism and energy balance
• Mitochondrial dysfunction
• Adipose hypoxia, apoptosis
• Adipokines
• Angiogenesis
• Cardiovascular disease and vascular homeostasis
• Hypertension
• Lipids, fatty acids
• Brown/beige fat
• Reproduction
• Obesity and cancer
• Pharmacology
Currently, we publish quarterly, increasing the frequency in increments to 12 issues over several years. Each issue appears in print and online. Submissions and peer-review are rapid and handled online. We encourage direct submission of manuscripts rejected elsewhere with reviewer''s comments included for quick assessment and potential rapid acceptance. Authors may submit to the journal online at

You can choose to publish your article open access at our Open Select rate of $2,950. If you choose to publish open access, no additional page or color charges will apply.
For all other articles, a page charge of $ 110 per page applies to the published typeset pages. Taylor and Francis operates a waiver policy for low- and lower-middle income economies which applies to page charges. Please read our waiver policy for more details.
Color figures will be reproduced in color in your online article free of charge. If it is necessary for the figures to be reproduced in color in the print version, a charge will apply. Charges for color figures in print are $225 per figure for the first four figures and figures five and above will be charged at $80 per figure.
Depending on your location, these charges may be subject to local taxes.
There is no fee for hosting online supplemental material.
