(m) Primary hepatocytes from 2-month-old C57BL/6 mice kept on LFD were treated with bovine serum albumin (Con), PA (500 μM), PA+verapamil (Ver, 50 μM) or PA+nicardipine (Nic, 100 μM) for 12 h. After each treatment, cells were loaded with a calcium indicator Fura-2-AM. Calcium levels were visualized by dual fluorescent microscopy at 340/380 nm, and ratio of fluorescence intensities of Fura-2-AM at 340 nm over 380 nm was quantified (n=17). Scale bar, 1 cm (c), 200 μm (i). All data are shown as mean±s.e.m. *P0.05, **P0.01, ***P0.001 (Student's t-test). Molecular weight markers are indicated in kDa.
