Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
3T3-L1 cells (Health Science Research Resources Bank, Osaka, Japan) were maintained in DMEM supplemented were used for each group. Data are the mean ± SE. *P < 0.05 for STD vs HFD. § P < 0.05 for STD vs HFD + Nar. # P < 0.05 for HFD vs HFD + Nar. STD standard diet, HFD high-fat diet, Nar naringenin ◂ with 10% bovine serum. After pre-adipocytes reached confluence in 12-well plates, they were induced to differentiate into mature adipocytes by replacing medium with 10% FBSsupplemented DMEM containing 0.5 mM IBMX, 0.25 μM DEX, and 5 μg/mL insulin for 2 days. Medium was then replaced with 10% FBS-supplemented DMEM containing 5 μg/mL insulin, and this was changed every 2-3 days for the next 6-7 days. RAW264 cells (RIKEN BioResource Center, Tsukuba, Japan) were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS. Adipocytes and macrophages were co-cultured in a contact system, as described previously (5) . Briefly, RAW264 cells (1 × 10 5 cells/mL) were plated onto dishes with differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes. For each experiment, we treated cells with naringenin and used 0.5% DMSO as the vehicle control. The total volumes of culture media used for the single cell line and the co-culture system treated with naringenin or vehicle control were 0.6 mL and 1.0 mL, respectively.

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.
