Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are negative regulators of hepatic lipogenesis
that exert their effects primarily at the level of transcription. Sterol regulatory element-binding
proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors responsible for the regulation of cholesterol, fatty
acid, and triglyceride synthesis. In particular, SREBP-1 is known to play a crucial role in the
regulation of lipogenic gene expression in the liver. To explore the possible involvement of
SREBP-1 in the suppression of hepatic lipogenesis by PUFA, we challenged wild-type mice …
