Temperature would seem to be the most obvious way. Q10 temperature coefficients for most enzymatic reactions are in the vicinity of 2 meaning that for a 10 oC decrease in temperature, the cells' metabolic rate would decrease by half.

Thank you very much Gordon!

you could try lowering the serum concentration in the media, as it contains cholesterol

Thanks very much Delilah! I will try this!
