Figure 3. Proliferation rates of cell lines in culture medium containing lipid-replete or lipid-stripped FBS.

Cells were seeded sparsely one day before washing with PBS and exposure to the experimental media. Cell counts were obtained at that point and four days later, and these values were used to calculate the proliferation rate of the cells by fitting to an exponential growth equation. Each bar represents the average of n = 3 replicates ± standard deviation.
