Figure 1. Effect of capsaicin and capsazepine on adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.
(A) Cell viability in pre-adipocytes treated with capsaicin for 72 hrs; (B) Effect of capsaicin, capsazepine and RTX on differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells. Black spots in images represents area stained by ORO dye; (C&D) Effect of capsaicin and capsazepine on lipid accumulation in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. All values are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. (n = 3). One way ANOVA followed by Tukey's multiple comparison post hoc test was applied. *P<0.05 as compared to control. ORO = Oil red O, RTX = resiniferatoxin.
