(a) Myotube morphology at 24, 48, and 96 hours of incubation. (b) Myotube diameter of treated cells. Six diameters per myotube from ~10 myotubes (per culture) from three wells per treatment condition that were treated for 48 or 96 hours with palmitate, DHA, DHA+palmitate, or no fatty acids. *Denotes 𝑃≤0.05 versus other 48 h treatment conditions; ^§Denotes 𝑃<0.00 versus other 96 h treatment conditions; **Denotes 𝑃<0.05 versus 96 h control conditions.
