PCS decreases lipogenesis and stimulates lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes and isolated human adipose cells. (A) Lipogenesis measured on 3T3-L1 adipocytes as the incorporation of [14C]-acetate into total lipids. (B) Lipolysis measured in 3T3-L1 adipocytes as the glycerol released in presence or absence of isoproterenol. (C) PCS inhibited lipogenesis on human isolated adipocytes. Data are mean ± SEM for n=4 mice. Different characters indicate a significant difference at P<0.05. TNL, total neutral lipids.
