Effects of rosmarinic acid (RA) on basal glycerol and free fatty acid (FFA) release (μm/L).

	Vehicle	RA50	RA100	RA200
Glycerol	84.43 ± 7.08	63.15 ± 10.8*	57.64 ± 13.2*	50.6 ± 9.4*
FFAs	187.2 ± 8.51	93.7 ± 4.13*	92.2 ± 2.41*	116.8 ± 3.03*

Data are presented as mean ± SEM.

Glycerol and FFA release was measured in cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes incubated with several concentrations of RA (50, 100, and 200 μM) in Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium supplemented with 2% fatty acid-free bovine serum albumin for 24 h.
