Effects of BBR on Gal-3 expression during differentiation of mouse primary preadipocytes. Mouse primary preadipocytes were left untreated or induced for differentiation. During induction, cells were left untreated or treated with BBR at 20 μmol/L for different time intervals, and cells were harvested for western blot (A) or real time RT-PCR (B) analysis of Gal-3 protein or mRNA levels. Alternatively, cells were left untreated or treated with different concentrations of BBR during the 10 days of differentiation period, and Gal-3 protein (C) and mRNA (D) levels were determined. The expression levels of Gal-3 were normalized to ACTB and presented as fold of preadipocytes. Values are mean ± SD of 3–4 separate experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. that of preadipocytes; #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01 vs. that of differentiated adipocytes left untreated.
