Initial incorporation of 3H-oleate into TG and its precursors. Control (A) or CETP-deficient (B) cells were incubated with 200 μM 3H-oleate/BSA for the indicated times. Lipids were extracted and fractionated by TLC and quantified by scintillation counting. PA, phosphatidic acid; LPA, lysophosphatidic acid; MG, monoglyceride. Values are mean ± SD, n = 3. Results are representative of three experiments for each cell type. Very similar results were observed for control (vector-transfected) cells (A) and wild-type SW872 cells (not shown).
