Abstract
Influence of glucose concentration on growth and lipid synthesis was investigated in human [umbilical cord] endothelial cells [and dog arterial endothelial cells] in culture. The biosynthesis of lipids from acetate and glucose was present in endothelial cells, but a high glucose level in the culture medium failed to modify lipid synthesis. Neosynthesis in the lipidic fraction in the medium is higher when precursor is acetate instead of glucose.
