Treating rat liver cells with low doses of acetic acid boosts genes and proteins that help burn fat, suggesting these cells might get better at breaking down fats.

Acetic acid might help liver cells burn fat better by turning on certain fat-burning genes, especially when used at a specific amount in lab studies.

When cow liver cells are exposed to certain levels of sodium acetate, it seems to turn down the activity of genes involved in making fat, which might mean the cells make less fat.

In liver cells from rats, blocking a key energy sensor called AMPK stops acetic acid from changing fat levels and fat storage — suggesting that acetic acid needs this sensor to work.
