Histologic response to injected phosphatidylcholine in fat tissue: experimental study in a new rabbit model.

The application of phosphatidylcholine to the fat tissue of humans for aesthetic purposes has recently been in evidence, despite the sparse literature corroboration of this practice. The authors developed a new experimental model to study injection of substances in fat tissue in rabbits. The objective of this particular study was to verify the possible effects of phosphatidylcholine injected in the animals.
