A simple, reliable and easily generalizable cell-based assay for screening potential drugs that inhibit lipid accumulation by Weili Yang, Qiuyue Pan, Qi Li, Sirui Zhou, Xi Cao

“…To our knowledge, this study is the first to quantify lipid droplets using BODIPY 493/503 by fluorometry assay, and to demonstrate that CCK8 does not interfere with subsequent BODIPY 493/503 staining, both of which will reduce the cost and increase the efficiency. In conclusion, the method is simple, reliable, efficient and does not rely on expensive instruments, making it an easily generalizable approach to identify potential drug candidates for NAFLD treatment.…”
