Producing or originating from fat; causing the generation of fat or adipose tissue.
From Latin adipis (fat) + -genous (producing). A close synonym to adipogenic, this form is sometimes used interchangeably in medical literature.
The distinction between 'adipogenic' (something that causes fat formation) and 'adipogenous' (something that is fat-producing) is subtle but lets scientists be precise about whether they're talking about triggers or sources.
