Effect of palmitate and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) exposure on cell viability in α-TC1-6 cells. MTT assay in α-TC1-6 cells exposed to increasing concentrations of palmitate or DCI. (A) α-TC1-6 cells exposed to palmitate (0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mM) for 48 h. (B) α-TC1-6 cells exposed to DCI (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 mM) for 48 h. (C) α-TC1-6 cells exposed to DCI (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mM) in the presence of palmitate (0.5 mM) for 48 h. Data are expressed as scatter plots with bar ± standard error of 570 nM absorbance to percentage of control. Experiments were conducted in four biological replicates. One-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni test (n = 4): * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 with respect to controls. n.s., not significant; PA, palmitate; DCI, D-chiro-inositol.
