Lipid (Oil Red O) Staining Kit Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Lipid (Oil Red O) Staining Kit has been used to stain lipids and adipocytes in samples.

General Description

Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic, ubiquitously present lipid-storage organelles, predominantly present in the adipocytes. Triglycerides, neutral lipids, and cholesterol esters stored in LDs are the largest sources of energy. The presence of excess LDs in adipocytes results in obesity and obesity-linked pathologies such as dyslipidemia and diabetes type.
