Adipokine concentrations in lipoaspirates may have a role in wound healing

Conclusion: In summary, we demonstrated that KGF, aFGF, bFGF and VEGF, as well as leptin and adiponectin, are contained in fat suspensions obtained by liposuction and in the supernatant. Only the concentration of adiponectin was in the range reported to contribute to wound healing.
