Table 2 Comparison between ASCs from subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissues

High homogeneity indicates that ASCs isolated from subcutaneous depots have spindle-like morphology and uphold their homogeneity in future passages. Both ASCs from subcutaneous and visceral depots can proliferate and give rise to adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts, but the capacity of proliferation and differentiation might be different. High cell yield indicates that more ASCs can be obtained from subcutaneous adipose tissues, compared to visceral adipose tissues
