Curcumin reduced lipid deposits in the liver. A: Triglyceride and DAG accumulation in hepatocytes incubated with AT-CM for 24 h (AT-CM was prepared from PA-stimulated adipose tissue), n = 6. B: CD36 membrane protein expression in the liver of HFD-fed mice was determined by Western blot (n = 4). The contents of triglyceride (C) and DAG in liver of HFD-fed mice (n = 8) were determined using commercial kits. Liver Oil Red O staining was also detected. D: PKCε translocation in the liver was determined by Western blot (n = 4). Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 8). *P < 0.05 versus model; ^#P < 0.05 versus control.
