Hypertrophy refers to an increase in the size of cells, tissues, or organs. In the context of fat cells, hypertrophy means that existing fat cells can grow larger as they accumulate more fat.

Hyperlipidemia refers to high levels of lipids (fats) in the blood, and hyperthermogenesis refers to the production of heat in the body beyond what is normal.
