Palmitate activates autophagy in INS-1E β-cells and in isolated rat and human pancreatic islets.
We have investigated the in vitro effects of increased levels of glucose and free fatty acids on autophagy activation in pancreatic beta cells. INS-1E cells and isolated rat and human pancreatic islets were incubated for various times (from 2 to 24 h) at different concentrations of glucose and/or pa...
