Figure 6From: A Three Stage Integrative Pathway Search (TIPS©) framework to identify toxicity relevant genes and pathwaysEffect of SCD activators clofibrate and ciprofibrate on LDH release in the palmitate cultures. Clofibrate and ciprofibrate are known to transcriptionally increase the activity of SCD. Palm: treated with 0.7 mM palmitate for 48 hours, Palm+clofibrate: treated with 50 μM clofibrate and 0.7 mM palmitate, Palm+ciprofibrate: treated with 50 μM ciprofibrate and 0.7 mM palmitate. 6 hours pretreatment followed by 48 hours co-supplementation of 50 μM of clofibrate or ciprofibrate significantly decrease LDH release in the palmitate culture, P < 0.01 (t-test). Data expressed as average +/- SD from three independent experiments, * significantly lower than in control, p < 0.01 by t-test. H: control, P: palmitate treatment, O: oleate treatment, P+O: palmitate and oleate co-supplementation.Back to article page
