“…To date, numerous compounds that promote adipocyte differentiation have been found, including lecithin (Zhang et al, 2009), cilostazol , sakuranetin (Saito et al, 2008), phloretin (Hassan et al, 2007), magnolol (Choi et al, 2009), catechin (Shin et al, 2009), ginsenosides (Niu et al, 2009;Shang et al, 2007), fl avanone (Saito et al, 2009), raloxifene (Murase et al, 2006), progestins (Rondinone et al,1992), diallyl disulfi de (Lee et al, 2007b), emodin and nobiletin (Saito et al, 2007).
