Is glucose metabolism required for oxidized LDL-induced macrophage survival : role of PI3K and Bcl-2 family proteins?
These results suggest that oxLDL enhances macrophage survival in the absence of CSF-1 by inducing PI3K-dependent glucose uptake, which is metabolized to maintain Bcl-2 and Bcl-x(L) protein levels.
We concluded that toluidine blue offers excellent cytological details for the preliminary identification of the lesion and to decide on the adequacy of the material for definitive diagnosis on FNAC slides.
