Palmitic and stearic fatty acids induce caspase-dependent and -independent cell death in nerve growth factor differentiated PC12 cells.

abstract：:The survival and functional maintenance of vertebrate neurons depends on the availability of specific neurotrophic factors. We studied the influence of neurotrophic support on responses of dopaminergic neurons to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine, a neurotoxin known to damage the nigrostriatal dopaminergic ...
