However HF fed offspring of mothers fed a HF diet developed NASH, coupled with significantly reduced NAD+/NADH (p < 0.05, HF/HF vs C/C), Sirt1 (p < 0.001, HF/HF vs C/C), Sirt3 (p < 0.01, HF/HF vs C/C), perturbed clock gene expression, and elevated expression of genes involved lipid metabolism, such as Srebp1c (p < 0.05, C/HF and HF/HF vs C/C). This evidence concerns the gene SIRT1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
