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.
