Figure 7 From: Docosahexaenoic and eicosapentaenoic acids increase prion formation in neuronal cells DHA and EPA increase the half-life of surface PrP C in neurons. The amounts of biotinylated-PrPC in untreated neurons (●), neurons treated with 1 μM DHA (▲) or neurons treated with 1 μM EPA (○) measured in cell extracts taken at different time points after biotinylation. Values shown are the mean average amounts of biotinylated-PrPC (Units) ± SD, n = 9.Back to article page
