Figure 3.

Effect of PE, GE, and MIX on the expression of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-a in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into adipocytes by incubation with isobutylmethylxanthine, dexamethasone, and insulin for 8 days. The cells were exposed to PE (30 μg/ml), GE (60 μg/ml), and MIX during the differentiation period. (a) Representative image of immunofluorescence labeled CCAAT/enhancer binding protein a. (b) Measurement of fluorescence intensity of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein a. Values are mean ± standard deviation (n = 3) *P < 0.05. PE: Pear pomace extract; GE: Garcinia cambogia extract
