Abstract:Fatty liver is a condition of excessive triglyceride accumulation in hepatocytes. additionally, hepatocytes exhibit a high degree of fat droplet accumulation during excessive alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in fat droplet formation remain unknown. the present study used an in vitro fatty liver formation model of the human liver cancer cell line, HepG2, to comprehensively search for fat droplet formation-related genes, and which exhibit changes in expressio… Show more
