FIG. 9.

Application of bFGF after day 6 of adipogenic initiation resulted in greater number of cells containing small and faint oil droplets. (A) Images demonstrating the different background intensity (representative area is circled in each image) across different treatment groups at 8× magnification. Images were taken under the same exposure time and adjusted with identical parameters in Adobe Photoshop. (B) Images demonstrating differences in the abundance of cells containing small and faint oil droplets that cannot be easily recognized as individual adipocytes (representative area is circled in each image) across different treatment groups at 200× magnification. Images were taken under the same exposure time and adjusted with identical parameters in Adobe Photoshop (n = 4). Color images available online at www.liebertpub.com/scd
