FFA uptake in Atgl^−/− and WT macrophages. MPM from Atgl^−/− and WT mice were incubated with [³H]oleate for 24 h. Lipids were extracted, and lipid subclasses were separated by TLC. The uptake of oleate in whole cells (A) and various lipid subclasses (B) was determined by liquid scintillation counting. Data are presented as mean values (n = 3–4) performed in triplicate ± S.E. *, p < 0.05; **, p ≤ 0.01. PL, phospholipid.
