Adipose tissue is a complex and heterogenic tissue exhibiting high variability and appears to have multiple functions, especially in metabolic regulation. Change in carbohydrate source is reported to have a profound effect in the regular functioning of adipocytes. Here, we analyzed the role of two monosaccharides namely, glucose (5.2 and 25 nM), galactose SUPPORTING INFORMATIONAdditional supporting information may be found online in the Supporting Information section.How to cite this article: Krishna MS, Revathy VM, Jaleel A.Adipocytes utilize sucrose as an energy source-Effect of different carbohydrates on adipocyte differentiation.
