Docosahexaenoic acid counteracts palmitate-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress in C2C12 myotubes: Impact on muscle atrophy
(2017-12)
Lipid accumulation in skeletal muscle results in dysregulation of protein meta- bolism and muscle atrophy. We previously reported that treating C2C12 myo- tubes with palmitate (PA), a saturated fatty acid, increases the ...
