In epididymal fat tissue, lipogenesis- (Acc1, Fas) and adipogenesis (C/ebpa, Srebp1)-related genes were decreased in the HF-SLH group compared to the HF group, although thermogenesis-related Ampk, Ppara, and Ucp1 genes were enhanced by SL extract. The gene discussed is CEBPA; the disease is hydrops fetalis.
