Figure 7: Distinct features of cultured mature adipocytes derived from mesenteric and subcutaneous in vitro adipogenic cells.

The experimental scheme is shown in (a). Oil Red O staining was performed in differentiated in vitro adipogenic cells (b). Under the condition of the same differentiation efficiency in the two in vitro adipogenic cells, adiponectin secretion (c), basal lipolytic activity (d), stimulated lipolytic activity (e), and the inhibition ratio of lipolytic activity by insulin (f) were evaluated in mature adipocytes derived from mesenteric and subcutaneous adipogenic cells in vitro. ISO, isoproterenol; INS, insulin. The values are expressed as the means ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, n = 3 in each group.
