Article Snippet: After growing to 60-70% confluence, cells were incubated with OA (OA:10% FBS = 1:10000, 0.31509 mM) (112-80-1, Sigma-Aldrich) for 48 h. DGAT1 inhibtor (25 μM) (PF-04620110, S7192, Selleck), p38 inhibitor (20 μM) (SB202190/SB203580, T2301/T6335, TargetMol), and PPARγ inhibitor (20 μM) (T0070907, S2871, Selleck) were used to inhibit TG formation, p38 signaling pathway, and PPARγ, respectively.
