Chronic low-grade inflammatory condition is associated with metabolic pathologies such as obesity. However, the role exerted by local inflammation occurring in different fat depots, such as subcutaneous (SAT) versus visceral (VAT) adipose tissue (AT), is still under evaluation. Aim of the present study was to characterize the inflammatory state in adipose tissue of obese (OB: n=58, mean±S.D. BMI=47±9) vs normoweight (NOR: n=28, mean±...

Metabolic pathologies mainly originate from dysfunctions of the white adipose tissue (AT). Functional differences in AT and their impact on metabolism seem associated with the fat depot regional distribution, in particular the subcutaneous (SAT) and visceral (VAT) pads. Human adult adipose stem cell (ASC) populations have recently been characterized from SAT and VAT. In this study, using human ASC cultures obtained from paired biopsies of abdominal SAT, S-ASC, and VAT, V-ASC, ...
