Figure 5From: Effects of n-3 PUFAs on breast cancer cells through their incorporation in plasma membraneContent of AA (C20:4), EPA (C20:5), DPA (20:6), DHA (C22:6), SFA and MUFA in PLs of MDA-MB-231 cells treated with LCPUFAs. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with AA, EPA, and DHA. Purification of single PL moieties was achieved with an HPLC-ELSD system. PL fatty acids were determined as methyl esters by gas chromatography (GC). Data are reported as percentage of total fatty acids. Controls are not exposed to any exogenous fatty acids. * p < 0.01; n = 3.Back to article page
