Increased expression of interleukin-1β in triglyceride-induced macrophage cell death is mediated by p38 MAP kinase

Triglycerides (TG) are implicated in the development ofatherosclerosis through formation of foam cells and induction ofmacrophage cell death. In this study, we report that addition ofexogenous TG induced cell death in phorbol 12-myristate13-acetate-differentiated THP-1 human macrophages. TGtreatment...
