...). Glutamine plays an essential role in macrophage metabolism and function, as it is required for energy production but also provides nitrogen for synthesis of purines, pyrimidines and thus RNA. Macrophages also utilize fatty acids for both energy production in the mitochondria and lipid synthesis essential...

..., and phosphorylation of eNOS at Thr 495 induced by palmitate in MAECs, which were abolished by etomoxir. In conclusion, PPARβ/δ activation restored the lipid-induced endothelial dysfunction by up-regulation of CPT-1, thus reducing DAG accumulation and the subsequent PKC-mediated ROS production and eNOS inhibition...
