Saturated but not mono-unsaturated fatty acids induce apoptotic cell death in neonatal rat ventricular myocytes
The energy need of cardiac muscle cells in vivo is largely covered by the oxidation of saturated and mono-unsaturated fatty acids (FA). However, in vitro studies have shown that the saturated FA C16:0 at physiological concentrations exerts detrimental effects on primary cultures of neonatal rat vent...
