Abstract
Obesity is regarded as a heterogeneous syndrome, which may appear in different forms. Various causes have been found to contribute to its pathogenesis. During recent years investigations of adipose tissue cellularity and its dynamic changes have gained growing interest. An important progress was the discovery of adipose tissue precursor cells. These cells have not yet been precisely identified by morphological and biochemical methods in intact tissue. However, due to methodological developments such precursor cells can be cultured both as primary cultures and as established cell lines. These culture systems have proven to be valuable models for the study of the processes involved in the formation of new fat cells.Keywords
