Abstract:Medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs) have 6–12 carbon atoms and are instantly absorbed into the bloodstream before traveling to the portal vein and the liver, where they are immediately used for energy and may have antitumor effects. Its role in breast cancer is poorly understood. To investigate the apoptosis‐inducing effect of MCFAs in breast cancer cells, cell viability assay, colony formation assay, cell migration assay, cell invasion assay, nuclear morphology, cell cycle assay, intracellular reactive oxygen sp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
