Modification of CaCo-2 cell membrane fatty acid composition by eicosapentaenoic acid and palmitic acid: effect on cholesterol metabolism

Membrane fatty acid composition of CaCo-2 cells was modified by incubating the cells for 8 days in medium containing 100 microM eicosapentaenoic acid or palmitic acid. The effect of membrane fatty acid changes on cholesterol metabolism was then studied. Cells incubated with eicosapentaenoic acid had...
