      Adipocytes in the skeletal muscle are cellular populations that directly communicate nutrient stores to muscle and regulate glucose homeostasis (1). There are multiple depots of adipocytes in skeletal muscle, including intermuscular adipocytes found in the space between muscle groups, and intramuscular adipocytes, which are located between muscle fibers. The intramuscular adipocyte population is becoming an area of research focus because it is an important measure of meat quality for the livestock industry and is associated with adverse human health conditions, including obesity and sarcopenia (2).
