Mechanism of Sini Power combined with Linggui Zhugan Decoction on NAFLD based on transcriptomics and metabolomics (PubMed, Zhongguo Zhong Yao Za Zhi)
Additionally, SLD regulated key signaling pathways including peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR), tumor protein P53(P53), and Hippo. Further studies revealed that SLD activated the PPAR signaling pathway by upregulating key targets such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ(PPARδ) and fatty acid desaturase 2(FADS2) and downregulating Acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 3(ACSL3) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 1(HMGCS1), which promoted fatty acid β-oxidation, inhibited fatty acid synthesis, improved hepatic lipid metabolism, and ultimately exerted the effects of protecting liver function and alleviating liver injury.
