Human visceral preadipocytes for adipose research, differentiation studies, and immunofluorescence. Cryopreserved and pathogen-free.
Human Preadipocytes–Visceral (HPA-v) are progenitor cells isolated from visceral adipose depots (e.g., omental or mesenteric fat) of healthy donors and cryopreserved after primary culture, and are widely referenced as preadipocytes in human adipose biology studies, often contrasted with non-human models such as rhesus monkey preadipocytes in comparative metabolic research. These spindle-shaped, fibroblast-like cells exhibit high proliferative capacity and serve as precursors to mature adipocytes. They express markers such as CD34, Pref-1 (DLK1), and PPARγ, and can differentiate into lipid-accumulating adipocytes under adipogenic conditions. Visceral preadipocytes possess unique metabolic characteristics distinct from their subcutaneous counterparts, including a stronger association with insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. HPA-v cells are a valuable in vitro model for studying depot-specific adipogenesis, adipokine signaling, and the pathogenic roles of visceral fat in obesity-related diseases.

HPA-v cells are precursor cells from visceral adipose tissue and are widely used in studies of adipogenesis, obesity, and metabolic disorders. They offer a physiologically relevant human model for exploring the cellular mechanisms of fat development, lipid metabolism, and the effects of drugs and nutritional factors. This cell line also aids in modeling diseases such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome, providing insights into the role of visceral fat in systemic health.

Yes, the pre-adipocytes can be cultured without using poly-L-lysine (PLL). However, when the cells are first thawed, their attachment rate may be lower. It is recommended to let the cells rest for 18-36 hours to allow sufficient time for attachment.
Human Preadipocytes-Visceral are isolated from stromal vascular fractions of visceral fat and represent preadipocytes/adipose-derived stem cells, which can subsequently differentiate into mature adipocytes. Since mature adipocytes are non-proliferative, preadipocytes are the proliferative population that can be expanded and studied in vitro. Cell identification is confirmed by Oil Red O staining, with a measured purity of over 90%.
