Effect of compound 1a on lipid adipogenesis. A: Effect of compound 1a on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. At two days after confluence, 3T3-L1 cells were differentiated by MDI. At day 8 compound 1a was given to the cells at series of concentrations. Ten days after differentiation, we measured triglyceride content of 3T3-L1 cells treated with compound 1a by Oil-Red-O staining. The inhibition ratio was calculated by formula 1. B: Effect of vehicle, compound 1a, Inositol Nicotinate on the lipid accumulation by Oil-Red-O staining. Images of the stained lipid droplets were collected on a fluorescence microscope. Lipid accumulation was significantly decreased treated by compound 1a. All values are mean ± SD (n = 3).
