Objective:To identify the best method for isolating and culturing mature rat adipocytes in vitro.Methods:Three different primary culture methods
i.e.organ culture
ceiling culture
and modified ceiling culture were used in the present study.Mature Sprague-Dawley rat adipocytes were cultured in vitro.The cells were observed under microscope and oil red O staining to compare the distinction of cells with different culture methods in the same condition.Rusults:Adipocytes were successfully cultured by the three primary cell culture methods.Cells cultured were highly homogenous.Modified ceiling culture method was the best in terms of the efficiency of culturing and cell morphology.Conclusion:Modified ceiling culture
is a long-term stable primary culture method for mature rat adipocyte
providing a good technique platform for the studies related to adipocytes.
