- The 3T3-L1 adipocytes were incubated in serum-free medium with 300 μM of EPA for 3, 6, 12, or 24 h. The values were calculated as a percentage of lipid content of the control cells without EPA treatment and expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 5). Values with different superscript letters are significantly different at P < 0.05 by Tukey’s test
