Fig. 5. Medium- and long-chain triglyceride (MCT/LCT) propofol reversed free fatty acid (FFA)-induced phosphorylation inhibition of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC) and AMPK in HepG2 and Huh7 cells.

(A) Western blot was carried out to detect the expression and phosphorylation of ACC and AMPK after 4 µg/ml or 8 µg/ml MCT/LCT propofol treatment in HepG2 and Huh7 cells. (B) Relative quantitative data analyses of p-AMPK and p-ACC expression in HepG2 and Huh7 cells in different groups. ^*p < 0.05 vs. control group, ^#p < 0.05 vs. FFA group.
