Journal Article
Tang, N., D. Snook, R., Brown, M., Haines, B., Ridley, A., Gardner, P., & Denbigh, J. (2020). Fatty-acid uptake in prostate cancer cells using dynamic microfluidic raman technology. Molecules, 25(7), e1652. https://doi.org/10.3390/molecules25071652

It is known that intake of dietary fatty acid (FA) is strongly correlated with prostate cancer progression but is highly dependent on the type of FAs. High levels of palmitic acid (PA) or arachidonic acid (AA) can stimulate the progression of cancer....
