Short Description
Measures glycerol release from adipocytes (lipolysis).
Development Stage
Research-Grade Lipid Metabolism Assay Development
Description
The LipidFlux™ Adipolysis Assay Kit measures glycerol release to screen for compounds that stimulate or inhibit fat breakdown in adipocytes. This assay validates lipolytic agents and regulators of lipid mobilization, supporting the development of metabolic syndrome treatments. It provides a functional readout of adipocyte metabolism, essential for characterizing the mechanism of action of anti-diabetic drugs.
