Effect of Exposure of Human Monocyte-Derived Macrophages to High, versus Normal, Glucose on Subsequent Lipid Accumulation from Glycated and Acetylated Low-Density Lipoproteins

Figure 4

Effect of maturation in 5 versus 30 mM glucose on the accumulation of total cholesterol (a) and cholesteryl esters (b) and percentage cholesteryl esters (c), quantified by mass using HPLC, in HMDM cells after exposure to acetylated LDL (black bars) or control (no LDL, white bars). Data are mean ± SEM from four independent experiments. * , using one-way ANOVA and Newman-Keuls multiple comparison test. No differences between HMDM matured in normal and high glucose concentrations were observed for any of the data.
