ChREBP ASO decreases lipogenic gene expression and protein but only reduces plasma triglycerides. A, Key lipogenic genes FAS and MTP were decreased with ChREBP ASO as assessed by quantitative RT-PCR; B, hepatic FAS protein levels were decreased with ChREBP ASO; C, the contribution of DNL as assessed with heavy water; D, the reductions in lipogenic genes resulted in significant reductions in plasma triglycerides on either safflower oil or fructose diet; E, however, there were no significant differences in triglyceride concentrations in liver, soleus, and gastrocnemius; F, additionally, hepatic diacylglycerols were unchanged on both safflower oil and fructose diets in ChREBP-ASO-treated-rats; G, lastly, ChREBP ASO reduced the plasma triglycerides during a tyloxapol challenge. #, P = 0.1; *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.005.
