Figure 5. Effects of palmitate and lithium acetoacetate on DNA synthesis in rat and human islets.

Figure 5

Rat (A) or human (B and C) islets were cultured for 4 days in CMRL as indicated and 3H-thymidine incorporation was determined during the final 24 h. Palmitate was complexed to fatty acid-free BSA at a 4:1 ratio estimated to yield unbound fatty acid concentrations in the nanomolar range. Data are the means ± S.E. of n = 3 experiments with triplicate samples. (Data are the means ± S.E. of n = 3 experiments with triplicate samples. *p<0.05, **p<0.01 denote significant differences between bracketed conditions.
