Purpose: To elucidate the effects of VPA compared to TPM on adipoR1 and adipoR2 mRNA expression in human hepatoma cell line HepG2. Methods: HepG2 cells were grown to confluence, all treatments were carried out after serum starvation. HepG2 cells were either unstimulated or exposed to VPA for 6 and 12 hours (h) at concentrations of 0.1 mM, 0.5 mM, 1 mM, and 5 mM or to TPM for 12, 24, and 48 hours at concentrations of 4 mM and 40 mM, respectively. In addition, TPM stimulation was performed in a concentration of 400 mM for 12 hours. Control cells were exposed to serum-free media only. mRNA of adipoR1 and adipoR2 we…
