Research Abstract

In this study, as the aim to clear the function of lipid droplets, I noticed the structure and formation of lipid droplets. I performed the biochemical experiments and the analysis of ultra-structure by using freeze-fracture replica staining and ultra-section with the electron microscope observation. In the biochemical experiments, it revealed that the lipid droplets from culture cells had many proteins, which were distributed in the endoplasmic reticulum. In the electron microscope observations, there were differences in the structures between artificial lipid droplets, made to contain the same elements, and the prepared lipid droplets from the culture cells.
