Mechanism of triglyceride accumulation in rat preadipocyte cultures exposed to very low density lipoprotein.
Cultured preadipocytes derived from the stromal-vascular fraction of adipose tissue have been shown to accumulate sufficient triglycerides to assume adipocyte morphology when exposed to high concentrations of very low density lipoprotein.Since these cells synthesize and secrete lipoprotein lipase it was of interest to determine whether the accumula
