anti-obesity cells

[Ada Chan]

Hi,guys. I am here to ask for your opinion about the cells should be used to test for anti-obesity properties (in-vitro studies).

From what i've found, there are two types of cell line that can be use for anti-obesity properties. They are 3T3 L1 cells and OP9 cells. Can somebody tell me which one of these cells is better?

There is no drug out there that targets obesity.

 

I hear in the next 5 to 10 years there may be some drugs that look good and could enter clinical trials.

Might be interesting to note that knockout of the gene coding 5-HT2-receptors induces obesity in mice ... Isn't anti-obesity, but it's a start
