Table 1.

The effect of 500 μM galegine on the activity of fatty acid synthase, ATP-citrate lyase and malic enzyme extracted from fat tissue

Treatment Enzyme activity (nmol mg−1 min−1)
  Fatty acid synthase ATP-citrate lyase Malic enzyme
Control 1.48±0.01 2.19±0.01 487.6±10.0
Galegine 1.50±0.05 2.18±0.1 514.5±3.2

The activities of fatty acid synthase and ATP-citrate lyase are expressed as nmol of NADPH oxidized per mg protein per min and the activity of malic enzyme expressed as nmol of NADPH formed per mg protein per min. Data are expressed as mean±s.e.m., n=3.
