METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIATION CULTURE OF PREADIPOCYTE INTO MATURE ADIPOCYTE AND SCREENING OF SUBSTANCE CAPABLE OF AFFECTING THE DIFFERENTIATION PROCESS OF PREADIPOCYTE INTO MATURE ADIPOCYTE

摘要

A culture method for inducing the differentiation of a preadipocyte into a mature adipocyte, the method comprising cultivating the preadipocyte in a floating state; a mature adipocyte produced by the method; a screening method for a substance capable of affecting the differentiation process of a preadipocyte into a mature adipocyte, characterized by using the culture method; a substance capable of affecting the differentiation process of a preadipocyte into a mature adipocyte, which is given by the screening method; a kit for the screening; and others.
