Liraglutide can mimic the effect of GLP-1 on lipid accumulation in the primary hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were treated with 100 nM liraglutide for 24 h. (A) Oil red O staining (original magnification: ×200, n = 6); (B) TG content in hepatocytes, normalized to the total protein (n = 6); (C) mRNA expression levels of GLP-1R, ACC, FABP4, LPL, PPARG, and SREBP-1c after 24 h treatment of liraglutide (n = 6); (D) The phosphorylation levels of pAMPK and pACC, normalized to control (n = 4); (E) The expression of PPARG and CPT1 (n = 4); (F) Effect of exendin on liraglutide-reduced TG content; (G) Exendin inhibited the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC, normalized to control. Data were presented as mean ± SE. p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
