Two types of human fibroblast strains were studied in culture. One was derived from abdomen skin and the other from abdominal muscle aponeurosis. Tissue‐specific differences were found between thése two cell strains. Skin fibroblasts had faster doubling time, smaller cell volume, and lower glucose consumption when compared to aponeurosis fibroblasts. Furthermore, extracellular amino acid variations showed some specific differences, in particular a lack of serine consumption in skin fibroblasts.
