From: (−)-Hydroxycitric acid reduced fat deposition via regulating lipid metabolism-related gene expression in broiler chickens

Mechanism of (−)-HCA effect on hepatic lipids metabolism. Supplemental (−)-HCA inhibited lipogenesis by inhibiting ACLY, SREBP-1c and FAS expression, and accelerated lipolysis through enhancing HL activity and PPARα expression, which eventually led to reduced abdominal fat deposition in broiler chickens. The variance of gene expression which involved in lipid metabolism might associate with the mechanism of how (−)-HCA reduced the accumulation of fat in broiler chickens
