Palmitic acid also makes up approximately 25% of the total plasma fatty acids in plasma lipoproteins.{1935} Saturated fatty acids induce the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and, after protein acylation, are used to confer lipid anchoring to a variety of signaling molecules.{3997,4849,6115,10646,11095} Palmitic acid ethyl ester is a neutral, lipid-soluble form of the free acid. It is one of the fatty acid ethyl esters that increase cytosolic Ca2+ concentration leading to pancreatic acinar cell injury due to excessive consumption of ethanol.{14120}
