Zusammenfassung
Hepatic steatosis in the context of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with insulin resistance. In our study we investigated the effects of genistein on insulin-responsive downstream targets in an in-vitro model of hepatic steatosis. Primary human hepatocytes and HuH-7 cells were treated with oleic and palmitic acid (2: 1 ratio, final concentration 0.5 mM) for 24h to induce an intracellular fat overaccumulation. Oilred O and SRB staining evaluated the in-vitro model of hepatic steatosis. Cells were treated with different concentrations of genistein (7.5 up to 90µM) with increased time (1 up t…
