Fig. 3From: Oleic acid and derivatives affect human endothelial cell mitochondrial function and vasoactive mediator productionFA exposed HUVEC soluble mediator release. Comparison of soluble mediator release by HUVEC exposed to OA and its metabolites. Conditioned media was collected after 24 h exposure to OA-BSA, 2-OH OA (Na+), or 12-OH OA-EtOH or their equivalent vehicle controls. Mediators were measured by ELISA, as described in methods. a PGF2α release. b ET-1 release. Each value is the concentration as a percentage of each group’s vehicle control, mean ± S.E. of 3 trials. Comparisons between groups by dose are done by two-way ANOVA. ** = p < 0.005, *** = p < 0.001, **** = p < 0.0001Back to article page
