A higher efficacy of C5 in lipid-lowering activity and anti-hepatic steatosis was associated with a significant decrease in genes involved in lipid metabolism including sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP) 1c, SREBP2, liver X receptor alpha (LXRα), and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma (PPARγ) together with an increase in the PPAR alpha (PPARα). This evidence concerns the gene CNBP and Hepatic steatosis.
