Analysis of lipid droplet size from cells expressing DGAT1, DGAT2, and MGAT2 that were incubated with 0.5 mm oleate for 12 h

Lipid droplet	Diameter (μm)
	Control	DGAT2	DGAT1	MGAT2
With oleate	1.99 ± 0.33	4.11 ± 1.02a	2.06 ± 0.20	1.89 ± 0.39
		Number/cell
Without oleate	131.2 ± 46.5	214.7 ± 60.7	147.0 ± 47.0	135.3 ± 9.5
With oleate	88.0 ± 8.3	37.8 ± 11.7b	269.7 ± 54.9c,d	148.0 ± 43.7

^ap < 0.001 versus control-transfected cells.

^bp < 0.001 versus DGAT2-expressing cells.

^cp < 0.001 versus oleate-loaded, control-transfected cells.

^dp < 0.05 versus DGAT1-expressing cells.
