Endothelial cells were incubated over 24 h with 50 mg/L isolated human LDL (L); 50 mg/L oxidized LDL (O); 50 mg/L oxidized LDL + 40 mg/L HDL from wild type mice (OH); 50 mg/L oxidized LDL + 40 mg/L HDL from mice (KO); or with serum-free media as controls (C). Bold italic and italic cells in the Table indicate . Bold italic indicates that the mean values are significantly higher; italic indicates significantly lower. Bold text indicates . *Results are expressed as the mean quotients of the areas under the peak of the different experimental conditions. For example, galactose values are, on average, 2.58 times higher when endothelial cells are incubated with oxidized LDL than when incubated with native LDL. All measurements were performed in triplicate.
