CE promoted 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation. 3T3-L1 cells were stained with oil red O at day 5. (a) Undifferentiated control cells; (b) DM (insulin 10  g/mL, dexam: 1  M, IBMX: 0.5 mM)-induced differentiated cells; (c) DM-induced differentiated cells + CE 0.2 mg/mL; (d) DM-induced differentiated cells + CE 0.6 mg/mL; (e) HE staining of WAT from high-fat diet control (HFC) mice; (f) HE staining of WAT from HF + CE-treated mice.
