Gene Expression, Oxidative Stress, and Senescence of Primary Coronary Endothelial Cells Exposed to Postprandial Serum of Healthy Adult and Elderly Volunteers after Oven-Cooked Meat Meals

Figure 1

Effect of postprandial serum from adult (□) and elderly volunteers (×) after consumption of chicken, pork, or rabbit meat meals on HCAEC ROS production. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. All data are compared to fasting serum, fetal calf serum (FCS, marked by “○”) and the strong oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BUT, marked by “∇”). In the left-high panel are reported the significance of the main effects: age, treatment (postprandial versus fasting), and their interaction analyzed by generalized linear models. All other comparisons are derived from posthoc by LSD: versus the respective fasting serum, versus all postprandial sera (chicken, pork, and rabbit), and versus all other treatments. Pooled samples used for the experiments were (elderly) and (adult). Each sample was run as a technical triplicate. For control conditions, (FCS) and (t-BUT).
