Fatty acid uptake by dendritic cells (DCs).

<p>DC cultures were supplemented with fatty acids (50 μM); arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) or oleic acid (OA) for 3 days and thereafter the cells were analyzed by gas chromatography. The proportion of (A) oleic acid, (B) arachidonic acid and (C) DHA of all lipid content in the cells. Black dots denote samples supplemented with fatty acid while white dots with black borders denote control (ethanol only). Horizontal solid black lines show median value. The median from the control group has been extended with a dotted line for easy comparison to the other groups. Statistical mean difference was compared to the control group. p-values: ** <0.01, *** <0.001, **** <0.0001.
