FIGURE 5.

Effects of antioxidants on palmitate-induced intracellular ROS production in H4IIEC3 hepatocytes. H4IIEC3 cells were incubated in the presence or absence of palmitate (Pal) and antioxidants for 8 h. Intracellular ROS production was quantified using the fluorescent probe H₂DCFDA. The values are expressed as mean -fold increase over control ± S.E. (n = 4). *, p < 0.05 versus palmitate treatment alone. **, p < 0.01 versus palmitate treatment alone. NAC, N-acetyl-l-cysteine; Toc, α-tocopherol.
