Fig. 2From: Effects of Free Fatty Acid on Polymerization of Islet Amyloid Polypeptide (IAPP) In Vitro and on Amyloid Fibril Formation in Cultivated Isolated Islets of Transgenic Mice Overexpressing Human IAPPThioflavin T assay. Studies on IAPP fibril formation in the presence of myristic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and linoleic acid (all at 125 µM), measured over 24 hr. AFU, arbitrary fluorescent units. The results are mean values of eight individual samples from one representative run. The assay was repeated three times as independent experiments, all with the same result.Back to article page
