Protein expression of CPT-1a (A), UCP2 (B), and DGAT2 (C) in AML12 cells exposed to 0.3 M palmitic acid (PA), with or without pterostilbene (PT) or its metabolites (PT-G and PT-S) at 1 µM for 18 h. The Western blot bands shown are representative of 6 samples/group. CPT-1a, UCP2, and DGAT2 protein expressions were normalized by α-tubulin. Data are means ± SEM. Values not sharing a common letter (a, b and c) are significantly different (p < 0.05). In CPT-1a protein expression: C (control group) vs. PA, p = 0.012; PA vs. PT-G, p = 0.007; PA vs. PT-S, p = 0.011. CPT-1a: carnitine palmitoyl-transferase 1a; UCP2: mitochondrial uncoupling protein 2; DGAT2: diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2.
