Effects of 6-day persistent steatosis on cell viability and albumin production in HepG2 OOCs exposed to OA + PA for 24 h. HepG2 OOC cells were treated with vehicle (Veh, 1 mM NaOH) or a mixture of oleic acid and palmitic acid (OA + PA, 0.5 mM in total) for 24 h to induce steatosis and then maintained in complete media for Conditions A or B for 6 days. (A and D) Quantitative analysis of Bodipy fluorescence. (B and E) WST-8-based viability assay. (C and F) Albumin concentration in conditioned medium. Data are presented as mean ± SEM and analyzed by Student’s t-test (n = 4–6). *p < 0.05 versus Veh.
