“…Scd1, a gene encoding stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1, which is located in the ER, caught our attention because of its high expression in Hepa3 and its indispensable role in the process of liver steatosis [ 40 ]. SCD1 catalyzes the transition from SFAs to MUFAs, including oleic acid and palmitoleic acid [ 41 ], the increase of which causes an increased triglyceride level and accumulation of lipids in hepatocytes, finally leading to hepatocyte steatosis [ [42] , [43] , [44] , [45] ]. Suppression of Scd1 showed inhibition of liver steatosis by regulating lipid metabolism [ 46 , 47 ].…”
