Compounds used for ‘injection lipolysis’ destroy adipocytes and other cells found in adipose tissue

This 2009 study investigated the cytolytic effects of Lipostabil®, a phosphatidylcholine-based compound used in injection lipolysis, on various human cell types. In vitro experiments demonstrated that Lipostabil® induces rapid cell death in adipocytes, preadipocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, skeletal myotubes, and renal epithelial cells. The cytolysis was not attributed to
