CE significantly down-regulated HF-induced hepatic lipogenic gene expression such as cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36), SREBP1-c, ATP citrate lyase (ACLY), ACC, fatty acid synthase (FAS), stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1), and diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) in rats fed a HF diet (p < 0.05). This evidence concerns the gene ACLY and hydrops fetalis.
