Adipocyte precursors, isolated from inguinal fat pads of 2-day old NBR rats, proliferate and differentiate in defined medium. EGF stimulates the proliferation of adipocyte precursors with an ED50 of 2 ng/ml and inhibits their differentiation with an ED50 of 0.45 ng/ml. EGF has no effect on differentiated adipocytes. EGF binding studies indicate that adipocyte precursors have two classes of receptors (Kd 4 .times. 10-11 M, 4800 receptors/cell and Kd 1.4 .times. 10-9 M, 22,000 receptors/cell). TFG-.alpha. had the same effect as EGF on adipocyte precursors. In contrast, basic and acidic FGF stimulate adipocyte precursor proliferation without inhibiting their differentiation.
