Saturated Fatty Acid-Induced Cytotoxicity in Liver Cells Does Not Involve Phosphatase and Tensin Homologue Deleted on Chromosome 10
Figure 4
Effects of PTEN knockdown on phosphorylation of Akt in liver cells. Total Akt (a) and phosphorylated Akt (b)) in H4IIE (left column) and HepG2 (right column) liver cells following 16 h of incubations with control media (LG) or fatty acids (oleate (O) or palmitate (P)) at 250 μM. Following incubations, cells were either treated (+ insulin) or not treated (− insulin) with 1 nM insulin for 30 minutes (). *: significantly () different from corresponding scrambled SiRNA group.
