Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine promotes lipid uptake of macrophage via cluster of differentiation 36 and receptor for advanced glycation end products

Figure 1 N^ε-(carboxymethyl)lysine promotes lipid uptake and cluster of differentiation 36 and receptor for advanced glycation end products expression in Raw264. 7 cells. A: Oil Red O staining of lipid accumulation in Raw264.7 cells, Scale 20 μm; B: Oil Red O staining quantification of lipid accumulation in Raw264.7 cells; C-E: Protein levels of cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in Raw264.7 macrophages; F and G: mRNA abundance of Cd36 (F) and RAGE (G) in Raw264.7 macrophages. ^aP < 0.01 compared with control (Ctrl) group. CML: N^ε-(carboxymethyl)lysine.
