Figure 3

Effect of ABB on cellular lipid droplets and cell viability in cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Differentiating 3T3-L1 cells were treated every 2 days with 0–25 μg/mL of ABB for 8 days in adipocyte-induction media. (a) Intracellular lipids were stained with oil red O (scale bar; 20 μm). (b) The accumulation of lipid contents was detected at 490 nm after oil red O dye was dissolved in isopropanol. Results represent mean ± SEM of four independent experiments ( ).
