Liver expression of lipogenic transcription factors and enzymes in morbidly obese patients diagnosed with different degree of simple steatosis. Representative Western blot analysis showing LXRα, SREBP1c-precursor form (SREBP1c-p), SREBP1c-active form (SREBP1c-a), ACC1, FAS and β-actin protein expression and bar graphs showing the quantification of bands normalized by values of β-actin bands (n = 28: 6 NL, 8 MILD SS, 8 MOD SS, 6 SEV SS). Results are shown as mean ± SD. p < 0.05 are considered statistically significant. NL, morbidly obese subjects with normal liver; MILD SS, morbidly obese subjects with mild simple steatosis; MOD SS, morbidly obese subjects with moderate simple steatosis; SEV SS, morbidly obese subjects with severe simple steatosis.
