Exogenous TN-C could increase the differentiation of macrophages into foam cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. (A) Macrophages were induced with 5 μg/ml oxLDL and different concentration of exogenous TN-C; (B) Macrophages were stimulated with 5 μg/ml oxLDL and 1 μM TN-C for the indicated time. CE/TC contents were measured by HPLC. *(P < 0.05) and *(P < 0.01), significant difference to control (0 μM or 0 h).
