Human Preadipocytes (HPAd) are fibroblast like precursor cells derived from human adipose tissue. They are cryopreserved at the end of primary culture and can be propagated two passages prior to differentiating into Human Adipocytes (HAd). HPAd derived HAd were used to study insulin-stimulated glucose transport, growth hormone enhanced lypolysis, and obese gene expression. Significant differences in lipolysis and leptin production are observed in HPAd and HAd from human omental and subcutaneous adipose tissue.

Oil Red O stained lipid accumulation

Genlantis provides HPAd from subcutaneous adipose tissue at various sites and adipose depot on heart. All HPAd are characterized positive for oil droplet accumulation.

Storage
Cells are cryopreserved immediately after purification and delivered on dry ice. Place cryovials immediately in liquid nitrogen upon arrival. Store the growth medium at 4°C in the dark. Store the subculture reagent at -20°C upon receipt and at 4°C upon thawing.
