摘要: The proliferation of preadipocytes is essential for the formation new adipocytes and important to differentiation into adipocytes. In this study, we have first developed a completely defined serum-free medium that supports growth preadipocytes, then found novel protein factor, referred as PAGF (preadipocyte factor), in rat adipose tissue using medium. specifically permitted acting like competent its apparent molecular weight was about 20,000. activity existed various mammalian tissues should function response energy intake. These results strongly suggest may play key role by locally triggering contribute development tissue. provide useful tool further understanding obesity.
