Effects of OF and CM on the mRNA expressions of lipogenesis-related genes. Real-time RT-PCR analysis of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1c) (a) and glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT) (b) mRNA levels in 1 mM FFA/BSA-treated HepG2 cells. All data were normalized to GAPDH mRNA, and the fold changes in expression were calculated relative to control cells (treated with 1% BSA). Each experiment was independently performed three times. Data were presented as the mean ± SD. Values not sharing common superscripts are significantly different ().
