Mice at age 6−8 weeks were sacrificed and epididymal adipose tissues were removed, minced in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 10 mM CaCl2, and digested at 37 °C for 60 min in DMEM containing 10 mM CaCl2, 1.5 units ml−1 collagenase D (Sigma, 11088866001), and 2.4 units ml−1 dispase II (Sigma, D4693). Tissue suspensions were filtered through a 100-μm filter and centrifuged at 600 × g for 5 min. Primary adipocytes (top floating fractions) and SVFs (pellets) were collected. SVFs were resuspended and filtered through a 40-μm filter, and then grown in DMEM containing 25 mM glucose and 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS).
