Figure 3.
Palmitate‐induced cell death is independent of NF‐κB activation. HepG2 cells were incubated with Bay 11‐7082, a well‐established NF‐κB inhibitor, for 1 hour prior to palmitate (0.4 mmol/L) exposure for 16 hours. A, LDH release. B, Gene expression of NF‐κB target genes. All values are denoted as means ± SD from three or more independent experiments. Bars with different characters differ significantly (P < .05)
