Research Progress of Adipose-derived Stem Cells in the Treatment of Obesity
With the economic growth and living standard improvement,the prevalence of obesity is increasing significantly year by year.Obesity causes not only an imbalance in the body's energy metabolism,but also dysfunction of the cells that make up adipose tissue.Adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)form the adipose tissue and can alter the remodeling and function of adipose tissue.The cells are currently considered to play an important role in the prevention and treatment of obesity.Herein,the biological characteristics,functions and anti-obesity mechanism of ADSCs were reviewed,so as to provide new ideas for the study of clinical prevention and treatment of obesity.
