Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Differentiated 3T3-L1 cells were pretreated for 1 h with 0.5% (v/v) DMSO alone (vehicle), 10 μmol/L of the EP3-selective antagonist L798106 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), or 5.0 ng/mL of PGE2 dissolved in DMSO and diluted in serum-free DMEM. The cells were then co-cultured for 24 h using the contact method in DMEM with 2% FFA-free BSA. Cells were also co-cultured in the same manner with 0 and 0.5 mmol/L butyrate and 0 and 5.0 ng/mL PGE2. Concentrations of FFAs in the co-culture medium were measured using an acyl-coenzyme A oxidase–based colorimetric assay kit, and free glycerol levels were measured using an Adipolysis Assay kit.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
