GLP-1 reduces lipid accumulation in the primary hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were stimulated with 100 nM GLP-1 for 24 h. (A) Oil red O staining (original magnification: ×200, n = 6). (B) TG content in hepatocytes was measured and normalized to the total protein. (C) GLP-1 increased the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC. Intracellular levels of p-AMPK and p-ACC were analyzed by western blotting. Relative phosphorylation levels were calculated by pAMPK/AMPK and pACC/ACC, which were normalized to control. Significant comparisons were calculated by SAS with a post t-test. Data were presented as mean ± SE (n = 6). ∗∗p < 0.01 and ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
