Neuro2a cells were incubated for 48h in sterol free medium in the absence or presence of different nM concentrations of cariprazine and AY9944. Sterol values correspond to the mean ± SE of 3 replicates in nmol/million cells. Numbers marked in bold and italics are significantly different from controls.
