Reactive oxygen species generation in response to natural and
enantiomeric LCA. HT-29 (A) and HCT-116 (B) cells
pretreated with CM-H2DCFDA were exposed to 500 μm LCA
or ent-LCA or control medium for either 5, 10, or 30 min. After the
indicated time the amount of ROS was determined, and the values are reported
as fold increases over untreated control cells. For all of the experiments the
values are reported as the means ± S.D. (n = 3). *,
p < 0.05; #, p < 0.07.
