Effect of palmitate treatment (high fat diet) on the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by RAW264.7 mouse macrophages

Abstract

The thesis deals with investigation of the effect of high fat diet (HFD) on the accumulation of apoptotic cells found in obese individuals. How this affects the engulfment of the apoptotic cells by macrophages and the gene expression levels of the genes involved in the apoptotic cell clearance.
