Increasing orbital fatty tissue volume and fatty cell number in patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) can induce high orbital pressure, eyeball protrusion and visual acuity damage. Orbital fatty tissue as a new endocrine organ can secrete various fatty cell factors, growth factors and protein molecules. Some factors and protein molecules participate in the occurrence and progress of TAO. Therefore, we should pay high attention to study the important role of orbital fatty tissue in TAO.
甲状腺相关眼病（TAO）患者眼眶脂肪组织体积增大和脂肪细胞数量增加可导致眶压升高、眼球突出和视力损害。眼眶脂肪组织作为一种新的内分泌器官，可分泌多种脂肪细胞因子、生长因子和蛋白质分子。一些因子和蛋白质分子参与TAO的发生和发展。因此，我们应高度重视研究眼眶脂肪组织在TAO中的重要作用。
