Calcium channel blockers do not protect against saturated fatty acid-induced ER stress and apoptosis in human pancreatic β-cells
Abstract It was evidenced that saturated fatty acids (FAs) have a detrimental effect on pancreatic β-cells function and survival, leading to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) calcium release, ER stress, and apoptosis. In the present study, we have tested the effect of three calcium influx inhibitors, i.e.,...
