Figure 1

Deletion of LXR promotes adipocyte differentiation of murine MSCs. (a and b) Representative micrographs of differentiated adipocytes (day 9) from wild-type murine MSCs (a: phase contrast, b: AdipoRed fluorescence. Original magnification, × 400). (c and d) Representative AdipoRed fluorescent micrographs of differentiated adipocytes (day 9) from WT (c) and LXRKO (d). Original magnification, × 200. (e) Quantification of fluorescent lipid droplet accumulation. Relative percentage vs WT group. Data are mean±s.d. (n=12). *P<0.05 vs WT group.
