Sulforaphane protects human umbilical vein cells against lipotoxicity by stimulating autophagy via an AMPK-mediated pathway
The protective role of sulforaphane (SFN) against saturated fatty acid (SFA)-induced lipotoxicity in human umbilical vein endothelium cell was determined. SFN protected endothelium cells against SFA-induced cell death. This protective activity was Nrf2-independent because silencing Nrf2 did not bloc...
