Pioglitazone enhanced cytosolic lipolysis, β-oxidation and autophagy but decreased lipogenesis. Mice were fed with chow diet, high fat diet, or high fat diet co-administered with pioglitazone (100 mg/kg/d) for 8 weeks. (A) Protein expressions related to cytosolic lipolysis (ATGL, HSL), β-oxidation (CPT-1A) and autophagy (mTOR, p-mTOR, Beclin-1, ATG7, LC3-I, LC3-II, and LAL) and the quantitative results. (B) Messenger RNA expressions of the above genes. (C) Protein expressions of the lipogenesis genes (FAS, ACC1) and the quantitative results. GAPDH served as a loading control. P < 0.05 indicated as significant, *vs chow diet, Δvs high fat diet.
