Acetic Acid Activates the AMP-Activated Protein Kinase Signaling Pathway to Regulate Lipid Metabolism in Bovine Hepatocytes
Cross-Sectional Study
Animal
2013The study shows that acetate activates a key energy-sensing pathway in cow liver cells, which matches what the claim says happens when these cells are exposed to acetate.
