DGAT activity

Cell Type	Without Oleate	With Oleate
Control	1.76 ± 0.07	1.52 ± 0.09a
CETP-deficient	1.85 ± 1.01	1.60 ± 0.36

Cells were incubated without or with 200 μM oleate/BSA for 48 h, lysed, and microsomes were isolated. DGAT activity was determined from the extent of ¹⁴C-oleoyl-CoA esterified to unlabeled DG. Shown are the mean ± SD of values determined on three separate microsomal preparations. Units are nanomoles of ¹⁴C-oleate per milligram of protein per 30 min.

^aP < 0.05 versus control without oleate.
