Fig. 4From: Advanced glycation end products increase lipids accumulation in macrophages through upregulation of receptor of advanced glycation end products: increasing uptake, esterification and decreasing efflux of cholesterolAGEs upregulate CD36, SRA2 expression in macrophages. The expression of CD36, SRA2 mRNA (a, b) and protein (c, d) were determined using real-time quantitative PCR and western blotting assays, respectively. All the results were expressed as mean ± SD, from three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate. *P < 0.05 vs. control group. Δ P < 0.05 vs. 600 μg/ml AGEs groupBack to article page
