Regulated adipogenic gene expression, proteins involved in energy metabolism (in maturated 3T3-L1 cells). Increased phosphorylated AMP activated protein, as well as attenuated insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis, improved glucose facilitation by GLUT2 externalization. in FFA-induced steatotic HepG2 cells. Here, SLC2A2 is linked to Hepatic steatosis.
