Fig. 4From: Intramuscular preadipocytes impede differentiation and promote lipid deposition of muscle satellite cells in chickensLipid deposition increased in MSC co-cultured with IMPA. a qPCR assays of transcripts of 5 key genes (FABP4, CD36, APOA1, DISP3, and ADIPOQ) related to lipid deposition of co-cultured or mono-cultured MSC on day 2. These genes were all upregulated in co-cultured MSC. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (** P < 0.01). b Oil Red O staining showed that co-cultured MSC contained more lipid droplets on day 4. c OD510 values of Oil Red O uptake by co-cultured and mono-cultured MSC on day 4. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (** P < 0.01)Back to article page
