Zen-Bio offers cultured human omental adipocytes and preadipocytes cryopreserved or in a variety of plate formats. Obese individuals with a predominance of fat stored in the visceral/omental depot suffer greater metabolic consequences than similarly overweight individuals who store fat in the subcutaneous depot. There is a strong correlation between visceral adiposity and insulin resistance in both children and adults. Our cells, media, and associated reagents provide researchers with the tools necessary for studying obesity and type II diabetes. Our cells are of the highest quality and include patient information such as age, sex, height, weight, and disease status. Zen-Bio also has donor-matched sets of omental and subcutaneous cells.
