Oleic acid is a potent inhibitor of fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis in C6 glioma cells

Glial cells play a pivotal role in brain fatty acid metabolism and membrane biogenesis. However, the potential regulation of lipogenesis and cholesterologenesis by fatty acids in glial cells has been barely investigated. Here, we show that physiologically relevant concentrations of various saturated...
