Abstract
The effect of endothelin (ET)-1 on the adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was examined. Cellular morphology and lipoprotein lipase activity were used as differentiation markers. ET-1 inhibited the hormone-induced adipogenic differentiation of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes morphologically and biochemically in a dose-dependent manner. These findings promote ET-1 as a potent inhibitor of adipogenic differentiation, playing an important role in cellular differentiation of preadipocytes and making it a significant regulator of lipid metabolism.
