Oleic Acid and Hydroxytyrosol Inhibit Cholesterol and Fatty Acid Synthesis in C6 Glioma Cells

Figure 3

Effect of oleic acid, hydroxytyrosol, or their combination on [1-14C]acetate incorporation into individual fatty acids. The effects of 25 μM OA, 25 μM HTyr, and their combination on the incorporation of labelled acetate into different fatty acids were assayed. After 4 h of incubation, the radiolabelled neosynthesized fatty acids were extracted and separated by HPLC. Eluted fractions, corresponding to the different fatty acids, were collected for radioactivity measurement. Data, expressed as cpm/mg protein, represent means ± S.D. of six experiments. Within the same group, samples bearing different letters differ significantly (). OA: oleic acid; HTyr: hydroxytyrosol.
