Punicalagin Induces Serum Low-Density Lipoprotein Influx to Macrophages

Figure 1

Fluorescence spectra of ApoB100 and LDL in the presence of punicalagin (puni) or glabridin (glab) at various concentrations. Fluorescence spectra of ApoB100 in the presence of various concentrations of punicalagin (a) and glabridin (b) and of LDL in the presence of various concentrations of punicalagin (c) and glabridin (d). In all solutions, the total concentration of ApoB100 and LDL was 0.01 and 0.025 mg/mL, respectively, and the polyphenol concentration was 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 μM ( nm, pH 7.4, and  K). Each experiment was repeated separately at least three times and was always performed in triplicate.
