Abstract excerpt
The potential of plasma to stimulate differentiation and lipid filling of adipose precursors in primary culture was investigated in the groups of genetically obese Zucker rats (fafa) and their lean littermates (FaFa). The effect of age, feeding status and possible role of growth hormone in the process of adipogenesis was also studied. Differences in lipid-filling activity of the tested plasma samples were much...
