A Benifuuki diet decreased the expression of genes associated with lipogenesis such as sterol regulatory element binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c), acetyl-CoA carboxylase1 (ACC1), fatty acid synthase (FAS) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase1 (SCD1), compared with the HF/HS-fed group (Fig. 4). This evidence concerns the gene SCD and hydrops fetalis.
