κ-Opioid receptor stimulation reduces palmitate-induced apoptosis via Akt/eNOS signaling pathway
Abstract Background This study was designed to test the hypothesis that κ-opioid receptor (κ-OR) stimulation reduces palmitate-induced HUVECs apoptosis and to investigate its mechanisms. Methods HUVECs were subjected to sodium palmitate, apoptosis and cell viability were determined, HUVECs were trea...
