Palmitic acid is a common 16-<wbr></wbr>carbon saturated fat that represents 10-<wbr></wbr>20% of the normal human dietary fat intake. Palmitic acid also makes up approximately 25% of the total plasma fatty acids in plasma lipoproteins. Saturated fatty acids induce the expression of cyclooxygenase-<wbr></wbr>2 and, after protein acylation, are used to confer lipid anchoring to a variety of signaling molecules. Palmitic acid ethyl ester is a neutral, lipid-<wbr></wbr>soluble form of the free acid. It is one of the fatty acid ethyl esters that increase cytosolic Ca
