CE regulates the expression of PPARγ and SREBP-1 in aHSC. The aHSCs were treated with or without CE (1 mg/ml) for 5 days. Western blot analysis was performed to detect the levels of PPARγ, SREBP-1, and β-actin. A quantitative western blot analysis was used to calculate the PPARγ and SREBP-1 values normalized to β-actin. The data are shown as the mean ± SD obtained from three independent experiments using isolated different batches of aHSCs. ^∗P < 0.05, compared with the control.
