We reported that palmitic acid decreases eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase) phosphorylation at serine 633 by reducing the expression of the PP4R2 (protein phosphatase 4 regulatory subunit 2) protein and activating PP4, leading to endothelial dysfunction. This study aimed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec xml:lang=\"en\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p xml:lang=\"en\">\n                      Studies were performed using C57BL\/6J male mice fed an HFD or a normal fat diet for 12\u2009weeks.
