Arachidonic acid inhibits lipogenic gene expression in 3T3-L1 adipocytes through a prostanoid pathway

This report examines the effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on lipogenic gene expression in cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Arachidonic acid (20:4, n–6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5, n–3) suppressed mRNAs encoding fatty acid synthase (FAS) and S14, but had no effect on β-actin. Using a clon...
