Multiple Pathways Involved in Palmitic Acid-Induced Toxicity: A System Biology Approach.
Inflammation is a complex biological response to injury, metabolic disorders or infections. In the brain, astrocytes play a vital role in the inflammatory process during neurodegenerative diseases. Recent studies have shown that increased saturated fatty acid free as palmitic acid metabolism produces an inflammatory response in astrocytes commonly associated with destructive mechanisms such as oxidative … Read more
