Rubi Fructus (Rubus coreanus) Inhibits Differentiation to Adipocytes in 3T3-L1 Cells

Figure 2

Effect of RF fraction on lipid accumulation of 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation. Postconfluent 3T3-L1 cells were differentiated in the absence or presence of RF, RF ethyl acetate fraction (RFE), and RF water fraction (RFW) for 6 days. (a) Lipid droplets were measured by Oil Red O staining. (b) Lipid content was quantified by measuring absorbance. Troglitazone was used as positive control, and GW9662 was used as negative control. Data are expressed as the means ± S.D. where was considered a statistically significant difference from the differentiated control.
