Effect of Mat on lipid metabolism in palmitate acid (PA)-induced L02 cells. The L02 cells were treated with PA (500 μM) or the combination of PA (500 μM) and Mat (200, 400, 800 μM) for 12 h. a Oil red O staining (×400) of L02 cells. b Western blot analysis for expression of SREBP1c, FAS, and ACC in L02 cells (lipogenesis proteins). PA + Mat groups (L, H) represent PA (500 μM) combined with Mat 200 μM and 800 μM, respectively. *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01
