Objective To study the relationship between the adipose tissues and cutaneous morphogenesis on wound healing. Methods Adipose tissues’ participation in regulation of food intake, energy expenditure, fuel metabolism, and a variety of other physiological processes was reviewed in the latest literature. The wound healing was regulated by endocrine, paracrine, and adipocytederived molecules. Results Several factors secreted by adipose tissues (leptin, cytokines, growth factors, lipids, metallothioneins, ect) regulated wound healing. Conclusion Adipose tissues may play a vital role in the process of wound healing. Further understanding of the complex interaction between adipose cells and cutaneous morphogenesis is essential to explore the mechanism of wound healing.
