Palmitate reduces starvation-induced ER stress by inhibiting ER-phagy in hypothalamic cells

Abstract Palmitate is a saturated fatty acid that is well known to induce endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and autophagy. A high-fat diet increases the palmitate level in the hypothalamus, the main region of the brain regulating energy metabolism. Interestingly, hypothalamic palmitate level is also...
