White to beige. Fat cells can be classified as white storage cells, brown thermogenic cells, or intermediate beige cells. Prostaglandins produced by white fat cells (in response to β3-adrenergic agonists) or from the circulation stimulate the formation of thermogenic beige cells in white fat. The origin of beige cells is unclear.
