%V tes in vitro. Adipocytes were treated by all extracts for 7 to 12 days f
%V rom the starting of adipocyte differentiation. Caffeine, anti-adipogenic
%V  bioactive compound, was used as a positive control. After treatments, i
%V ntracellular lipid contents were measured by Oil Red O staining and trig
%V lyceride assay kit, respectively. The underlying mechanisms were examine

%V genes using RT-PCR technique. The results showed that the methanolic, et
