PhenoVue Nile Red Lipid stain is a lipophilic organic molecule that is almost nonfluorescent in water and polar solvents. In lipid-rich environments, Nile Red exhibits enhanced yellow fluorescence, as well as red fluorescence to a lesser extent.
Nile Red is commonly used for localization and quantification of intracellular lipid droplets which are involved in lipid synthesis, metabolism and transportation as well as protein storage and degradation or viral replication, all of which are related to pathophysiology, including dyslipidemia, obesity, lipodystrophy, diabetes, fatty liver diseases, or atherosclerosis.
