Identification of Plants That Inhibit Lipid Droplet Formation in Liver Cells:<i> Rubus suavissimus</i> Leaf Extract Protects Mice from High-Fat Diet-Induced Fatty Liver by Directly Affecting Liver Cells

<div>Effect of gallic acid on lipid droplet formation in Hepa 1–6 cells. The cells (20,000 cells/well) were seeded on a 96-well microtiter plate and incubated overnight. The next day, 0.6 mM oleic acid conjugated to BSA and gallic acid (250 <i>μ</i>M in the medium) was added and further incubated for 24 hr. After incubation, the cells were fixed and oil droplets were visualized by Oil Red O staining. Lipid droplets stained by Oil Red O are seen as red particles. Control: without added gallic acid.</div>
