Increased fatty acid synthesis in Wnt+ mice under high fat diet. (A) Immunoblot shows a significant increase in the expression of fatty acid synthesis-related genes (SREBP-1 and its downstream targets ACC, AceCS1, and FASN) and a decrease in fatty acid oxidation gene (MCAD) in Wnt+ livers under HFD. mTOR and its downstream gene Phospho-S6K were significantly increased in Wnt+ mice in response to HFD. α-tubulin served as a loading control. Increased serum cholesterol (B), triglycerides (C), and glucose (D) levels were found in HFD-treated Wnt+ mice when compared to wildtype. WT Wild-type, HFD high fat diet. *p value<0.05, **p value<0.01.
