Figure 1

Red Ginseng Extract (RGE) suppresses lipid accumulation during adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 cells were seeded the day before differentiation and induced to differentiate 2 days later. RGE or DMSO (vehicle control) were added to cells for 7–8 d. Cells were then treated with 0–150 μg/mL of RGE. (A) Cell viability (% of control); (B) Representative bright-field image of 3T3-L1 adipocytes in the presence of RGE at different doses (0–150 μg/mL of RGE); (C) Quantification of Oil-red O (ORO) (OD 500 nm); (D) Real-time polymerase chain reaction of the adipogenic genes Pparγ, Ap2, and C/ebpα; **p < 0.01; compared with the vehicle control by Student’s t-test or one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s comparison test.
