A) Caspase activity after 48 hr treatment with indicated treatments. B) Images of terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and Ki67 staining of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) treated for 24 hr with indicated treatments. Image is 28X. C) % nuclei positive for TUNEL. D) % nuclei positive for Ki67. n = 5–7 The BSA group was treated with media supplemented with 0.55 mM albumin. All fatty acid treated groups were also treated with media supplemented with 0.55 mM albumin in addition to the type and amount of fatty acid indicated in the figures. * Significantly different from BSA group. # Significantly different from 0.2 mM Palmitate and 0.4 mM Palmitate groups. ** Significantly different from all groups. Values are shown as the mean ± SEM.
