Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Effects of THP on SREBP1 target protein and gene expressions. Confluent cells were treated with various concentrations (0, 10, 20 or 40 µM) of THP from day 0 to 4. On day 8, completely differentiated cells were lysed to extract total protein. (A) Protein extracts were prepared and subjected to western blot analysis using SREBP1c, FAS and SCD1, (B) On day 8, completely differentiated cells were used to extract total mRNA. The expression of adipogenesis‑associated genes SREBP1c, FAS, SCD1 and GPAT were measured by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Data are represented as the mean ± standard error of the mean (n=3). **P<0.01 vs. DM control. THP, tetrahydropalmatine; DM, differentiation medium; SREBP1c, sterol regulatory element‑binding protein 1; FAS, fatty acid synthase; SCD1, stearoyl‑CoA desaturase‑1; GPAT, glycerol‑3‑phosphate O‑acyltransferase.
