Human Adipocytes (HAd) (L). Accumulated lipid droplets in HAd, stained by Oil Red O (R).
Human Adipocytes: HAd
Description
Mature Human Adipocytes (HAd) are differentiated from HPAd (Human Preadipocytes) through the use of Adipocyte Differentiation Medium. Cells are shipped 5 days after initiating differentiation. Mature HAd are expected 10 days after induction of differentiation and should remain healthy and responsive for at least 2 weeks after complete differentiation. Adipose mass can be controlled by inhibition of HPAd differentiation and increase of lypolysis. HAd serve as an ideal cellular model for adipogenesis and drug discovery research in the area of obesity and diabetes.
Differentiated HAd from Cell Applications, Inc. have been used to identify genetic elements responsible for aromatase production (and consequently, elevated plasma estrogen) in postmenopausal breast cancer patients.
