The negative correlation between MUFA and Ki-67 indicates a MUFA and calcium-enriched micro-environment might be endemic in tumours at early phase of development (27, 51), while the positive correlation between SFA and Ki-67 might be the result of elevated de novo synthesis and subsequent increased trafficking of SFA out of a more proliferative tumour to reduce lipotoxicity (36, 53). The gene discussed is MKI67; the disease is neoplasm.
