CRY1 and steatosis: Clock and Cry1 mRNA presented significantly reduced daily mRNA levels after fructose treatment (p = 0.006, p = 0.007, respectively, Student’s t-test), while steatosis conditions reversed this downregulation, leading to significant changes between fructose and FruFA groups (p = 0.008, p = 0.006, respectively, Student’s t-test) (Figure 5A,C).
