Effects of Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid on Chylomicron and VLDL Synthesis and Secretion in Caco-2 Cells

Figure 3

Oxidation of EPA, DHA, and OA in CaCo-2 cells. The cells plated on filter membranes and cultured for 21 days were incubated in serum-free DME medium containing 400 μm [l-¹⁴C]OA, [l-¹⁴C]EPA, or [l-¹⁴C]DHA for 36 h. (a) CO₂ was collected and acid-soluble radioactivity in the incubation medium was measured as described in Section 2. (b) The sum of CO₂ and acid-soluble radioactivity as % of total added radioactivity is given. Data are expressed as mean ± SD of 6 different experiments. Means without a common letter differ, 𝑃<0.01.
