Figure 13.

The expression of fatty acid synthase (FAS) (A), sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c precursor (SREBP-1c) (B), SREBP-1c mature (C), acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 (ACC2) (D), phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 Ser 9 (pACC2 Ser 9) (E), and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) (F) in rat’s liver, as well as the images of representative blots of target protein and corresponding total protein. The expression of the above proteins was assessed using Western blotting, as described in the Section 2. The results are presented as mean ± SD and the data are from n = 6 rats; *—p < 0.05 significant difference vs. control group, #—p < 0.05 significant difference vs. HFHS group.
