C34 and E47 cells were cultured in MEM with or without 0.1 mM BSO and/or 20 μm VitE for 2 days. The lipid peroxidation levels in C34 and E47 cells were monitored by the production of lipid peroxidation end products, MDA and 4-HNE, as described in Materials and Methods. *, Compared to C34 cells (±BSO), p < 0.001.
