subconfluent cultures of swiss 3t3 cells were treated with sodium butyrate in combination with other agents known to induce swiss 3t3 cell adipogenesis ( e.g . 1-methyl-3-isobutylxanthine , insulin , and dexamethasone ) and then analyzed at various times thereafter for : ( a ) the presence of high concentrations of intracellular lipid as detected by microscopic examination of treated cells following staining with lipid-specific dyes and ( b ) the expression of four genes known to be modulated during the differentiation of preadipocytes into mature adipocytes ( actin , adipsin , lipoprotein lipase , and adipocyte p2 ) .
