Differential routing and disposition of the long-chain saturated fatty acid palmitate in rodent vs human beta-cells

Abstract Background Rodent and human β-cells are differentially susceptible to the “lipotoxic” effects of long-chain saturated fatty acids (LC-SFA) but the factors accounting for this are unclear. Here, we have studied the intracellular disposition of the LC-SFA palmitate in human vs rodent β–cells...
