FASN and Hepatic steatosis: Moreover, clitorin significantly diminished the mRNA levels of SREBP1, acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), fatty acid synthase (FAS), and hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) and enhanced the mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and carnitine palmitoyltranserase-1 (CTP-1), as well as adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in the liver of WD-induced hepatic steatosis mice and oleic acid-stimulated HepG2 cells.
