“In support of this theory, we demonstrate that glucosamine can induce ER stress in cell types relevant to the development of atherosclerosis, including human aortic smooth muscle cells, monocytes, and hepatocytes.”
“Taken together, our data suggest that glucosamine induces autophagic cell death by inducing ER stress in U87MG glioma cancer cells and provide new insight into the potential anticancer properties of glucosamine.”
