Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production on differentiated 3 T3-L1 adipocytes with or without sample treatment was measured using NBT assay. NBT assay was carried as the previously described method with some modification [24]. At Day 8 of MDI induction, 3 T3-L1 cells were incubated for 90 min in PBS containing 0.2% NBT. After washing with PBS, the stained cell plates were scanned. Thereafter, formazan, the resulted product formed by the reduction of NBT with ROS, was dissolved in DMSO, and the absorbance was measured at 520 nm using a microplate reader.
