Effects of free fatty acids on metabolism in the absence of glucose. Human islets were incubated with or without palmitate (PA), palmitoleate (PAO), stearate (SA), or oleate (OA) for 40 min in the absence of glucose. a Extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) was expressed as fold control. b Representative graph of oxygen consumption rate (OCR) is shown. Rotenone and antimycin A were added as indicated by arrow. c OCR was expressed as fold control. Results are means ± SEM of 4 donors
