After 21 days, cultures were rinsed with 70% (v/v) isopropanol for 5 min and differentiation was assessed qualitatively by specific staining of lipid droplets with 0.5% Oil Red O solution (Sigma-Aldrich, Poole, UK). Intracellular lipid accumulation was quantified using the AdipoRed™ Adipogenesis Assay (Lonza) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Briefly, cells were pre-washed with PBS and incubated with AdipoRed™ Reagent for 10 min. Fluorescence was measured using a plate reader (λexc/λem 485/572 nm).
