title: [Evaluation on a fast weight reduction model in vitro].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish a fast and effective model in vitro for screening weight-reducing drugs and taking preliminary evaluation of the model.
  
  
  METHODS
  Mature adipocytes of SD rat induced by oleic acid were used to establish a obesity model in vitro. Isoprel, genistein, caffeine were selected as positive agents and curcumine as negative agent to evaluate the obesity model.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Lipolysis of adipocytes was stimulated significantly by isoprel, genistein and caffeine rather than curcumine.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This model could be used efficiently for screening weight-losing drugs.
