Figure 1

Adipose differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes. Adipose differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was induced as described in Materials and Methods. (A) Adipose differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes evaluated by Oil-red-O staining of lipid droplets. (B) Quantitative analysis of the intracellular Oil-red-O by spectrophotometry. (C) PPAR-γ and ALBP mRNA expression at different stages of 3T3-L1 preadipoytes differentiation. (D) Quantitative analyses of PPAR-γ and ALBP mRNA levels at different stages of 3T3-L1 preadipoytes differentiation. Each experiment was repeated at least three times. *P < 0.05 vs. preadipocytes before induction.
