I was just thinking, if fat cells were cloned, grown in vitro, and then re-injected into subcutaneous areas of the body, would this decrease visceral fat? I'd think if a person (more so a woman) ate a 2000 calorie diet yet had very little subcutaneous fat, most of the fat would show viscerally. Much like you'd see in someone with congenital lipodystrophy.

At the same time, if they were 30+ at the time that their cells were withdrawn and cloned in petri dishes, would this mean that their division would have an even more limited lifespan, i.e. Hayflick limit? I.e. If cells were cloned, does this speed up their death, thus negating their re-introduction into the body?

I'd think if there were more fat cells subcutaneously (at least with women) that it would actually help fat redistribution not to mention hormonal balance as well.

Hmm, I have a feeling I put this in the wrong category forum... Anyone know how to move questions to other forums?
