Effects of Age and Anatomic Site on Preadipocyte Number in Rat Fat Depots
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
Preadipocytes are cells which are capable of either replication or of differentiation into fat cells. As with other stem or progenitor cell types, the replicative capacity of preadipocytes declines with increasing age; however, little information about effects of age on preadipocyte cell number in vivo is available. We determined preadipocyte number in the perirenal and epididymal fat depots of 3-, 17-, and...
