"To understand the relationship between intramuscular adipogenesis in the pig and the supply fatty acids, we established a clonal porcine intramuscular preadipocyte (PIP) line from the marbling muscle tissue of female Duroc pig. Confluent PIP cells exhibited a fibroblastic appearance," scientists in Sendai, Japan report. "Their adipogenic ability was investigated using confluent PIP cells after exchanging growth medium for adipogenic medium containing 50 ng/mL insulin, 0.25 mc M dexamethasone, 2 mM octanoate, and 200 mc M oleate.
