Benzene induces reduced l-carnitine and alters expression of key genes in the fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) pathway in mouse bone marrow (BM) cells. (A) l-carnitine level in control and benzene group; (B) FAO-related gene expression in two groups. Values are mean ± SD; Compared with control group: * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001. Cpt1a: carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a; Crat: carnitine acetyltransferase; Acaa2: acetyl-coenzyme A acyltransferase 2; Aldh1l2: aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family, member L2; Acadvl: very long chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase; Crot: carnitine O-octanoyltransferase; Echs1: enoyl coenzyme A hydratase short chain 1; Hadha: hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase/3-ketoacyl-coenzyme A thiolase/enoyl-coenzyme A hydratase, alpha subunit.
