Effect of VN on lipid accumulation during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation. (a) The lipid droplets were observed at the magnification of 100x. (b) The lipid content was quantified by resolving the Oil Red O stain in isopropanol and measuring absorbance at 500 nm. EGCG was used as a positive control. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of three or more experiments. versus MDI-uninduced preadipocytes, , and versus MDI-induced adipocytes.
