Abstract
Normal mouse peritoneal macrophages were enriched with either palmitic acid (16:0) or oleic acid (18:1). Normal or oleic acid-enriched macrophages showed 3-4-fold greater erythrophagocytic capacity as compared to palmitic acid-enriched macrophages. Staphylococcus aureus uptake was only moderately decreased in palmitic acid-enriched macrophages. Fatty acid modifications did not influence the ability of macrophages to kill intracellular bacteria or to generate superoxide anions after stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate or opsonized zymosan.Entities:
