What's the difference between visceral and subcutaneous HWP? When should I use which cell type?

PromoCell Preadipocytes are isolated from subcutaneous or visceral fat. Subcutaneous fat is found just underneath the skin and it is not related to the obesity-linked diseases. Its accumulation represents the normal physiological buffer for excess energy intake. When the storage capacity of subcutaneous fat is exceeded or the generation of new adipocytes is impaired; visceral fat starts to accumulate. It is located in the abdomen and around internal organs (e.g. kidney; heart; or bladder) and it is linked to hypertension; diabetes; and cardiovascular disease. Adipocytes from subcutaneous and visceral fat differ in several functions; like their response to insulin and other hormones or their lipolytic activity. It highly depends on the scientific problem being addressed; which of the two cell types are best suited for your experiments.
