Key result
Intramuscular adipose tissue in pigs develops later than subcutaneous fat, with continued increases in cell number and lipogenic enzyme activities up to 24 weeks of age.
Intramuscular adipose tissue in pigs develops later than subcutaneous fat, with continued increases in cellularity and metabolic capacity up to 24 weeks of age.

Porcine findings warrant no change in human cardiometabolic care; leaves open translational relevance of depot-specific fat timing.
Lee et al. (1974) studied Intramuscular fat deposition in pigs. Animal growth vs. Subcutaneous fat tissue was evaluated on Cellular and metabolic changes (cell size, cell number, enzyme activities). Intramuscular adipose tissue in pigs develops later than subcutaneous fat, with continued increases in cell number and lipogenic enzyme activities up to 24 weeks of age.
