Figure 1. SIRT activity affects TG levels in t10c12 CLA treated 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Figure 1

a–c Triglyceride (TG) levels were measured in differentiating adipocytes after incubation with LA (L) or t10c12 CLA (C), with or without the SIRT1 activator SRT1720 (SRT), or the sirtuin inhibitors sirtinol (SOL), nicotinamide (NAM), or etomoxir (ETO) for 24 h. d Immunoblot analysis of whole cell extracts for the amount of SIRT1 and β-actin proteins after exposure to 80 nmol/L of control siRNA (siCON), or siRNA against SIRT1 (siSirt1), or transfection reagent only. Duplicate loadings of each sample were analyzed and the lanes marked by 1/3 have one third of the indicated samples loaded. e Triglyceride (TG) amounts after treatments as in d. Each bar in panels a–c and e represents the mean + SEM (n = 3), and is representative of three independent experiments. Means not sharing a common letter differ, P Inline graphic0.05. Panel d is a representative blot of three independent experiments.
