Control of adipose tissue cellularity by the terminal complement cascade

Nature Reviews Endocrinology, Published online: 11 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41574-023-00900-wAdipocytes have high levels of many components of the complement system. These components are involved in antimicrobial activities, but also have the potential to regulate the maintenance and turn-over of adipocytes under normal and pathophysiological conditions through positive and negative regulation of the membrane attack complex.
