Cell cycle analysis in NSCs after treatment with or without PUFAs. Incorporation of BrdU and total DNA content (7-amino-actinomycin D, 7-AAD) in cells treated with BSA (a), 1 μM DHA (b), EPA (c), or AA (d) were measured by flow cytometry. The cell ycle phase was determined by counting each gate. The percentage of cells distributed in each phase of the cell cycle is shown: G0/G1 phase (e), S phase (f), and G2/M phase (g). Values are means ± SE of three independent experiments. versus control group. FITC-BrdU is fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti BrdU antibody.
