Lipid Droplet Accumulation and Impaired Fat Efflux in Polarized Hepatic Cells: Consequences of Ethanol Metabolism

Figure 2

Oil Red O-based quantification of ethanol and oleic acid-induced fat accumulation in hepatoma hybrid cells. WIF-B cells were treated for 48 hr with or without 25 mM ethanol in presence of different concentrations of oleic acid and lipid content quantified with Oil Red staining. Values are means ± SEM ( ). *Significantly different ( ) from control group.
