Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Free fatty acid (FFA) has been reported to induce cell death (lipotoxicity), but the effect depends on the carbon chain length and number of double bonds. In this study, we found that the lipotoxicity and influx rate of FFA were changed by their combinations. We also identified one of the anti-cancer FFA combination, and revealed the effect of FFA on amino acid catabolism.
