Abstract
Adipogenesis is a complex multiphase process in which preadipocytes develop into adipocytes. This tightly regulated process is facilitated by a cascade of genes and transcription factors. In this chapter, we describe a protocol that can be used to quantify the expression of adipogenic markers using RT-qPCR.
期刊介绍:
For over 20 years, biological scientists have come to rely on the research protocols and methodologies in the critically acclaimed Methods in Molecular Biology series. The series was the first to introduce the step-by-step protocols approach that has become the standard in all biomedical protocol publishing. Each protocol is provided in readily-reproducible step-by-step fashion, opening with an introductory overview, a list of the materials and reagents needed to complete the experiment, and followed by a detailed procedure that is supported with a helpful notes section offering tips and tricks of the trade as well as troubleshooting advice.
