Question about new research on fat cell turnover, how weight gain could cause increase in fat number?

March 20, 2023
Asked By:ofield in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I read that new studies indicate that fat cell number does not stay constant throughout one's life and that not only do fat cells die and get replaced with new fat cells every year, but that the actual number of fat cells can increase with weight gain and never decrease again. But how much weight gain could cause this increase in fat cell number? And if fat cells that die are replaced by new fat cells during fat cell turnover will they replace the cells where they were lipo'd from?
