  • * Tracer uptake = pmol/mg protein/h.

  • P < 0.0005 compared with L-M (TK).

  • P < 0.05 compared with L-M (TK) (Student t test).

  • Data in parentheses in LL/2 row and L-M row indicate relative uptake ratios of LL/2 compared with those of L-M cells and relative uptake ratios of L-M compared with those of L-M (TK), respectively.
