Effect of cpt-cAMP 0.3 mM on sterol synthesis in J774 murine macrophages and MPMs

Cells were incubated with [2-¹⁴C]acetate for 20 h in RPMI 1640 + 0.2% BSA in the presence or absence of 10 μM pitavastatin; 0.3 mM cpt-cAMP was added during the 20-h incubation period. Data are means ± S.D. expressed as counts per minute of [2-¹⁴C]acetate incorporation into total cellular sterols per milligram of protein (n = 3).
