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

Figure 3

Effect of R. groenlandicum crude leaf extracts prepared from accessions collected around five communities in Northern Quebec on lipid accumulation. Intracellular triglyceride content was measured by AdipoRed fluorescence, in live 3T3-L1 murine adipocytes incubated with plant extracts for 5 days after differentiation. Means ± SD () are normalized to the vehicle control (0.1% DMSO). There were no significant differences between communities ().
