From: Effect of α-linolenic acid on endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated apoptosis of palmitic acid lipotoxicity in primary rat hepatocytes

Figure 4

α-Linolenic acid protects primary rat hepatocytes against ER stress induced by tunicamycin. (A)Western blot image and densitometric analysis of (B) CHOP and (C) GRP78 expression in cells treated with tunicamycin (Tn; 5 μg/ml) in presence of increasing concentrations of α-linolenic acid (ALA) for 16 h. Data represent mean ± S.E.M., n = 5, *P < 0.05 vs. LG, low glucose control (0 μmol/l palmitic acid), **P < 0.05 vs. tunicamycin-only cells.
