Description of the research topic:

The aim of the project is to clarify if the patterns of fat cells obtained from obese subjects – e.g. cell hypertrophy, altered adipokine secretion – are reproducible in secondary adipocytes that are differentiated in vitro from preadipocytes. As compared to normal weight individuals, those characteristics that can be created in vitro by this method can be regarded as intrinsic ones. In the opposite case, the role of extrinsic, hormonal-metabolic effects are possible. This approach helps us to the better understanding of central versus peripheral cause of obesity. It is also tested whether there are correlations between the adipokine concentrations measured in sera versus cell culture supernatant.
