Use of BODIPY (493/503) to Visualize Intramuscular Lipid Droplets
in Skeletal Muscle
Figure 2
Comparison of serial cross sections from rat tibialis anterior (TA) muscle demonstrates that ORO and BODIPY staining are the strongest in the same fibers. (a) Fibers stained with ORO (red) demonstrate the appearance of spherical LDs within the muscle fibers. (b) Fibers stained with BODIPY (green) demonstrate the appearance of spherical LDs within the muscle fibers.
