Adipogenic Activity of Wild Populations of <i>Rhododendron groenlandicum</i>, a Medicinal Shrub from the James Bay Cree Traditional Pharmacopeia

<div>Frequency distribution of the adipogenic activity from 25 samples of<i> R. groenlandicum</i> leaves collected throughout Northern Quebec. Intracellular triglyceride content was measured by AdipoRed fluorescence, in live 3T3-L1 murine adipocytes incubated with plant extracts for 5 days after differentiation. Triglyceride content was normalized to the vehicle control (0.1% DMSO). Samples with content levels below 100% (in white) were considered inhibitory and decreased lipid accumulation.</div>
