title: Effect of lipoproteins on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 and human preadipocytes in cell culture.
abstract: High-density and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) stimulated 3T3-L1 and human preadipocyte differentiation in vitro. In both cell types, LDL exhibited the greatest stimulatory effect. LDL suppressed the development of catecholamine-stimulated lipolysis in differentiating 3T3-L1 and human preadipocytes when present during preadipocyte proliferation and early stages of differentiation. The effect of lipoproteins on development of human preadipocyte (but not 3T3-L1) lipolysis may involve beta-adrenoceptors.
