Figure 10. HMGECs were differentiated for 48 h before exposure to BAK for 3 h. Lipid extracts were analyzed by ESI-MSMSALL (see Methods). The inset depicts only the CEs that reached significance. Fifteen of the 50 CEs (30.0%) were significantly
altered with BAK supplementation. CE 28:2 failed to reach significance in pairwise comparisons. CEs are labeled by carbon
number and double-bond count, respectively. When a third number is present, it denotes an oxCE with the corresponding number
of oxygenations. There were four replicates per condition. BAK: benzalkonium chloride; CE: cholesteryl ester; oxCE: oxidized
cholesteryl ester; Gray bar: p ≤ 0.05; Black bar: p ≤ 0.01; Dashed bar: p ≤ 0.001.
