Fig. 4From: Oleic acid and derivatives affect human endothelial cell mitochondrial function and vasoactive mediator productionHUVEC iron uptake following incubation with FA. HUVEC in 12-well plates were incubated with 100 μM OA-EtOH, 2-OH OA (Na+), 12-OH OA-EtOH, or equivalent vehicle for 4 h in cell media prior to 1 h incubation with 200 μM FAC for 1 h in HBSS. Cells were processed and lysates analyzed by ICP-OES as described in methods. a Cellular iron concentration in control, FA, or FAC treated groups. b Percent increase in cellular iron concentration of HUVEC treated with both FA and FAC versus FAC alone. Each value is the mean ± S.E. of 3 trialsBack to article page
