Examples

  • In cell culture studies, curcumin supressed preadipocyte differentiation, promoted adipocyte apoptosis (programmed cell death) and inhibited growth of adipokine-stimulated angiogenesis.

    Dr. Sharma’s Obesity Notes » Blog Archive » Eat Curry For Weight Loss? 2009

  • The research explained that preadipocyte cells turn into fat cells more rapidly during long periods of "mechanical stretching loads," when weight is applied to body tissues by resting in one position for too long.

  • Notably, we found that the preadipocyte marker, Pref-1, is induced early in differentiation and then declines markedly as the process continues, suggesting that fMSCs first acquire preadipocyte characteristics as they commit to the adipogenic lineage, prior to their differentiation into mature adipocytes.
