Fig. (2) Effects of ALA and stearic acid on membrane fluidity as measured by DPH florescence polarization. DPH loaded thymocytes were
incubated with ALA or stearic acid (20 and 30µM) for 1 and 2 hrs. While ALA increased membrane fluidity, the saturated stearic acid
caused a decrease in membrane fluidity. Increased florescence reflects a decrease in membrane fluidity. * Significantly different from control
(p< 0.05).
