Reducing effect of lysophosphatidylcholine in mixed micelles on cellular cholesterol amounts in the differentiated Caco-2 cells. The differentiated Caco-2 cells were incubated for 2 h with the mixed micelles containing lysophosphatidylcholine at 0–250 μM. The mixed micelles contained no vitamin D. Data are presented as the means ± standard deviation of four wells in a single experiment. Replicate experiments showed a similar trend. The asterisks indicate significant differences from the value of lysophosphatidylcholine at 0 μM as determined by Dunnett’s test (p < 0.05).
