We culture SQ and visceral preadipocytes and have a hard time getting visceral to grow and induce to adipocytes (rodent and porcine). Suggestions?

We use standard adipocyte induction cocktail for the the animal cells. The SQ changes readily from preadipocytes to adipocytes and the predadipocytes from SQ also plate down better.

I have also found that the older the animal (rat) is, the better the cells do in culture. Is that normal?
