Modulation of Adipocyte Differentiation and Proadipogenic Gene Expression by Sulforaphane, Genistein, and Docosahexaenoic Acid as a First Step to Counteract Obesity

(a) PPARγ1, (b) PPARγ2, (c) C/EBPα, and (d) GLUT4 mRNA expression at 4 different stages of adipocyte differentiation. T1: one day after seeding; T2: three days after seeding, before the beginning of differentiation; T3: at the end of the differentiation, before the addition of the postdifferentiation medium; T4: at the end of postdifferentiation (mature adipocytes). Data are expressed as the mean fold change relative to the mature cells (T4), normalized to one. Statistical analysis was by one-way ANOVA ( for all panels) followed by Tukey’s HSD test. The expression is significantly different between groups marked with different letters (at least ).
