Abstract excerpt
Primary cultures of stromal-vascular (S-V) cells from adipose tissue of new-born pigs were used to evaluate the characteristics of four sera obtained from male and female genetically lean or obese pigs weighing 50-60 kg. (2) Lean pig sera (LPS) stimulated greater levels of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) activity in cultured cells than obese sera (OPS). Male LPS tended to promote higher GPDH specific...
