Lipid droplets are cellular organelles that regulate various cellular process such as lipid and energy metabolism. The first morphological indication of adipogenesis is the accumulation of multiple small intracellular lipid droplets. Here, we describe a microscopy technique that can be used to quantify lipid droplets in adipocytes.

摘要

Lipid droplets are cellular organelles that regulate various cellular process such as lipid and energy metabolism. The first morphological indication of adipogenesis is the accumulation of multiple small intracellular lipid droplets. Here, we describe a microscopy technique that can be used to quantify lipid droplets in adipocytes.
