Saturated FFAs cause podocyte apoptosis, which can be inhibited by unsaturated FFAs.
Hyperactivation of mTORC1 is involved in saturated FFA-induced podocyte apoptosis.
ER stress is involved in saturated FFA-mTORC1-related podocyte apoptosis.
Saturated FFAs activate mTORC1 by enhancing translocation of mTORC1 to lysosome.
Unsaturated FFAs inhibit saturated FFA-induced translocation of mTORC1 to lysosome.
