Adipocyte differentiation inhibition study (anti-obesity effect)

Study Overview

During the process of differentiating into adipocytes, preadipocytes accumulate fat within the cells.
This study aims to discover functional substances that may have a diet effect, and will verify the adipogenesis inhibitory effect of the test substance.

Study example

Culture periodPre-culture for 3 days, differentiation induction culture for 16 days
Measurement of lipid dropletsOil Red staining and absorbance measurement of the extract


*Studies will be mainly conducted by those with doctoral degrees.
