Inguinal, epididymal, and retroperitoneal adipose tissue from lean and obese Zucker rats, 3-15 wk of age, was used to determine the association among adipocyte size distribution, the presence of paracrine growth factors in adipose tissue, and subsequent changes in adipocyte number. For each specific depot and time point, obese rats had a greater percentage of large adipocytes than did lean rats. A positive correlation (P < 0.02) was found in obese rats between the percentage of inguinal and epididymal adipocytes in the 140- to 180-micrometer size range and the ability of conditioned medium prepared from these depots to stimulate cellular proliferation in a bioassay system utilizing preadipocytes from inguinal fat pads of normal rats. Proliferative activity of the conditioned medium from all depots in obese rats was positively correlated (P < 0.01) to subsequent changes in fat cell number. The data presented here for the inguinal and epididymal depot of obese Zucker rats are consistent with the hypothesis that enlarged adipocytes secrete growth factors that induce preadipocyte proliferation.
