Fragments of adipose (fat) tissue taken from the outer thighs of young subjects, obese adults and older subjects and then compared their physical and biochemical structures with those from women with cellulite. Examining cellulite tissue under a microscope and analyzing it chemically using gas chromatography, A morphological point of view and from a biochemical one that cellulite tissue differs in many ways from normal fat tissue.
Structurally or morphologically, only in cellulite is there:
- a leakage of plasma through weakened capillary walls into the spaces between your fat cells.
- a thickening of connective fibre which encapsulates your fat cells.
- the formation of nodules caused by the hardening of collagen.
- a stretching of your capillaries and blood stagnation with poor circulation.
Biochemically in cellulite there are significant differences in the ratio of certain fatty acids and triglycerides compared to ordinary fatty tissue. These include:
- an increase in stearic acid over palmitic acid.
- An increase in stearic acid over oleic-linoleic acid.
- an increase in unsaturated fatty acids over saturated fatty acids.
