Microscopy Image Depicting Fat Cells (or Adipocytes) After Differentiation (IMAGE)
Caption
Microscopy image depicting fat cells (or adipocytes) after differentiation. The cells are stained with Oil Red O, which highlights lipid or fat droplets that accumulate with the fat cells. The metabolic studies described here indicated that fat cells produce these fatty acids, in part, from essential amino acids rather than sugar only.
