Figure 5.
Effect of fatty acids on insulin-induced glucose uptake by HepG2 cells. HepG2 cells were treated 24 h with 0.25 mM PALM, C6, C8, C10, a C8 + C10 equimolar mix, or vehicle control (BSA). (3H)-deoxy-d-glucose uptake assay results (n = 3) were obtained after a 1 h-long stimulation with 100 nM insulin (+). * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001 versus non-stimulated BSA control. # p-value < 0.05 versus stimulated BSA control.
