Title: Isolation of the Stromal Vascular Fraction from Adipose Tissue and Subsequent Differentiation into White or Beige Adipocytes.
Abstract: Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is linked to adipose tissue dysfunction, with weight loss being the only treatment shown to reverse it. Due to this correlation with obesity, the study of adipose tissue and adipocytes is an important step in understanding the pathogenesis of this disease. Here, we describe the isolation process of the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of adipose tissue. The SVF contains the foundational cells that will differentiate into adipocytes. These cells can be isolated and subsequently differentiated in vitro into white and beige adipocytes. We outline the in vitro differentiation of pre-adipocytes into cultured white and beige adipocytes using both human and mouse adipose tissue.
