Figure Lengend Snippet: FIG. 3. Stimulation of in vitro differentiated adipocytes with FGFs. In vitro differentiated cells from sc WAT were stimulated for 10 min with different concentrations of FGF1, FGF2, FGF7, or FGF9 ranging from 0.1–10 ng/ml. Phosphorylated p44/42 (p44/42-P) was detected as a measure of FGF-induced cell activation. Untreated cells (c) were used as a negative control and phosphorylation-state-independent p44/42 was used as a control for sample variations.
