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 sensor in cow liver cells, and this effect is blocked by a specific inhibitor, just like the claim says.
