This video demonstrates a technique for isolating and culturing fluorescently labeled neural crest-derived adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) from murine periaortic arch adipose tissue. Following isolation, the NCADSCs are detected, sorted using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, and subsequently cultured on a plate, promoting cell proliferation.

This protocol describes the isolation of pig adipose-derived stem cells (pADSC) from subcutaneous adipose tissues with examination of multipotency. The multipotent pADSC are used to delineate processes of adipocyte differentiation and study transdifferentiation into multiple cell lineages of mesodermal mesenchyme or further lineages of ectoderm and endoderm for regenerative studies.

Adipose tissue (AT) is a site of intense immune cell activation and interaction. Almost all cells of the immune system are present in AT and their ratios are altered by obesity. Proper isolation, quantification, and characterization of AT immune cell populations are critical for understanding their role in immunometabolic disease.

Time courses for the glycosylase activity of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase are biphasic exhibiting a burst of product formation and a linear steady-state phase. Utilizing quench-flow techniques, the burst and the steady-state rates can be measured, which correspond to excision of 8-oxoguanine and release of the glycosylase from the product DNA, respectively.
FAQs
Adipocyte number changes when precursor cells differentiate into mature fat cells or when existing cells are removed and replaced. Adipocyte size changes as mature cells store or mobilize triglycerides. These are distinct aspects of remodeling: cell-number changes affect tissue capacity, whereas size changes reflect more immediate adjustments in lipid storage and release.
Hormonal and nutritional signals influence both lipolysis, the mobilization of stored triglycerides, and lipid uptake into adipocytes. Their combined effects determine whether fat tissue is tending toward storage or release. This regulation connects local changes in adipose tissue with energy balance and helps explain how metabolic conditions can shift tissue behavior.
Precursor-cell differentiation supplies new adipocytes, while removal or replacement of mature cells contributes to tissue renewal. Together, these processes determine how adipose tissue maintains or changes its cellular composition. Considering them separately from triglyceride movement helps researchers distinguish long-term cellular remodeling from changes caused primarily by altered lipid storage or mobilization.
Inflammation and tissue remodeling can change how adipose tissue responds as it expands or contracts. Consequently, a change in tissue size does not necessarily indicate a uniform metabolic outcome. Evaluating inflammatory remodeling alongside lipid uptake, lipolysis, and adipocyte renewal provides a more informative view of how fat-tissue changes may relate to metabolic health.
Adipose turnover research can connect changes in adipocyte number, cell size, triglyceride handling, and tissue remodeling with obesity and insulin resistance. It helps identify whether altered fat storage, impaired mobilization, cellular renewal, or inflammation accompanies these conditions. That integrated perspective is useful for explaining why changes in fat tissue can influence broader metabolic function.
A focused investigation should consider precursor-cell differentiation, mature-cell removal or replacement, adipocyte size, triglyceride storage and mobilization, lipid uptake, and lipolysis. Hormonal and nutritional signals should also be included because they regulate several of these processes. Examining these features together helps characterize both cellular renewal and the tissue’s changing energy-storage behavior.
Adipose turnover contributes to metabolic adaptation by coordinating changes in fat-cell composition with the storage and release of triglycerides. These adjustments can affect body composition and energy balance while influencing systemic metabolic function. Studying the process therefore helps explain how adipose tissue responds to changing nutritional or hormonal conditions rather than acting as a static energy depot.
Research on adipose turnover may support therapies aimed at promoting healthier fat storage and improving systemic metabolic function. The relevant targets include precursor-cell differentiation, triglyceride handling, hormonal regulation, inflammation, and tissue remodeling. Understanding how these mechanisms interact can help guide approaches that address adipose dysfunction in the context of obesity or insulin resistance.
