Activation of Survival and Apoptotic Signaling Pathways in Lymphocytes Exposed to Palmitic Acid

The toxicity of palmitic acid (PA) towards a human T-lymphocyte cell line (Jurkat) has been previously investigated but the mechanism(s) of PA action were unknown. In the current study, Jurkat cells were treated with sub-lethal concentrations of PA (50–150µM) and the activity of various signaling pr...
