Abstract excerpt
Synthetic phenotype switch of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) has been shown to play key roles in vascular diseases. Mounting evidence has shown that fatty acid metabolism is highly associated with vascular diseases. However, how fatty acids regulate VSMC phenotype is poorly understood. Hence, the effects of palmitic acid (PA) on VSMC phenotype were determined in this study. The effect of the PA on VSMCs was...
