Adipogenesis Detection Assay Kit (Colorimetric/Fluorometric)
(ab102513) quantifies triglyceride accumulation in cells and tissues. In the
assay, triglycerides are efficiently solubilized then hydrolyzed to glycerol
which is subsequently oxidized to convert the probe to generate color (ODmax =
570 nm) and fluorescence (Ex/Em = 535/587 nm). The kit can detect 0.2 - 10 nmol
of triglyceride in <1,000 differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. The high detection
sensitivity and the convenient microplate assay format make the kit a
convenient tool for studying the effect of adipogenesis inducers or to screen
inhibitor compounds.

This product is manufactured by BioVision, an Abcam company
and was previously called K610 Adipogenesis Colorimetric/Fluorometric Assay
Kit. K610-100 is the same size as the 100 test size of ab102513.
Adipogenesis is the process of differentiation of different
cell types into adipocytes, the primary fat storage cell type. The accumulation
of adipocytes is the basis for obesity, a significant risk factor in many
diseases, including diabetes, atherosclerosis, cancer and cardiovascular
disease, etc. Adipocytes accumulate triglycerides, in the form of lipid
droplets which can be measured.
