Figure 3From: Docosahexaenoic acid ameliorates palmitate-induced lipid accumulation and inflammation through repressing NLRC4 inflammasome activation in HepG2 cellsDHA inhibits PA-induced NLRC4 mRNA expression. Cells were treated accordingly and then NLRC4 mRNA was measured by real-time PCR The data are normalized using β-actin as control and expressed as fold over untreated cells. The experiment was repeated 4 times. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 compared with untreated cells; #P < 0.01 versus 0.4 mM PA-treated cells.Back to article page
