Fig 8. The AMPK inhibitor CC exacerbates palmitate-induced decreases in viability.

Cells were pretreated with compound C (CC; 20 or 40μM) and then co-incubated with palmitate (PA). Fold change from control in a) viability and b) apoptosis after treatment with palmitate (PA), compound C (CC), or a combination of both. Data are expressed as mean±SEM; n = 3–5 independent experiments; *p<0.05 vs control, #p<0.05 vs both PA concentrations.
