Lipoxygenase gene expression. Quantification of expression of the alox15b gene in MSC cultures maintained in basal, adipogenic or osteogenic medium, without treatment (controls) or treated with 20 μM of arachidonic acid (AA), 20 μM of AA plus 20 μM of DHA (AA + DHA) or 20 μM of AA plus 20 μM of EPA (AA + EPA), at days 7 and 21 of differentiation. *p < 0.05 in relation to cultures maintained in basal medium for the same treatments and time; #p < 0.05 in relation to respective culture control
