Fatty acids (FAs) consist of long hydrophobic, often unbranched chains of hydrocarbons,
with hydrophilic carboxylic acid groups at one end. They are an important source of reserve …

Long-chain nonesterified (“free”) fatty acids (FFA) and some of their derivatives and
metabolites can modify intracellular production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), in …

Cancer cells produce high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that lead to a state of
increased basal oxidative stress. Since this state of oxidative stress makes cancer cells …
