Rapamycin Improves Palmitate-Induced ER Stress/NF κ B Pathways Associated with Stimulating Autophagy in Adipocytes

Obesity-induced endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and inflammation lead to adipocytes dysfunction. Autophagy helps to adapt to cellular stress and involves in regulating innate inflammatory response. In present study, we examined the activity of rapamycin, a mTOR kinase inhibitor, against endoplasmi...
