<p>The purpose of the present invention is to provide cultured cells necessary for elucidating the pathology of obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension or atherosclerosis and screening diagnostic drugs/therapeutic drugs. It was discovered that cells (tissue) similar to obese fat cells of a desired pathology could be manufactured using a cell compression culturing method of compressing normal fat cells or normal fat tissue or obese fat cells or obese fat tissue and culturing. As a result, use of said compressed fat cells (tissue) makes possible a novel method with which compounds capable of treating metabolic syndrome, etc. can be screened in a system that is more similar to a living body.</p> |
