Figure 1From: Lipid synthesis and secretion in HepG2 cells is not affected by ACTHContents of labelled lipids in cells and culture media. HepG2 cells prelabelled with [14C]acetate or [3H]glycerol was incubated with ACTH (200 pM Synacthen) and insulin (1 mg/ml actrapid). Labelled cholesterol, cholesteryl ester, triglyceride and phospholipid, respectively, were evaluated after 24 hrs in cells (A) and media (B). Total secretion of [14C] products was followed during the experiment (C). Data represent mean ± SD of two repeated experiments (N = 11). ** p < 0,01, *** p < 0,001.Back to article page
