Z-ligustilide (25 and 100 µM, 24 hours) can effectively inhibit oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation in HepG2 cells, suppress fatty acid uptake and esterification, and has potential anti-fatty liver effects[2]. Z-ligustilide (10-50 μM, 72 hours) can significantly enhance the sensitivity of ERα-negative breast cancer cells to Tamoxifen (HY-13757A) by restoring the expression of ERα[3].

Animal Model:High-fat diet (HFD)-induced fatty liver model in male C57BL/6 mice[2]
-
Dosage:50 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage (p.o.), once daily for 6 weeks
-
Result:Significantly reduced high-fat diet (HFD)-induced hepatic fat accumulation in mice, as confirmed by hepatic TG assay, H&E staining, and Oil Red O staining, showing a marked decrease in liver lipid content. Significantly inhibited the expression of fatty acid uptake-related genes CD36 and DGAT2, and reduced the expression of SREBP1c and its downstream target genes FAS and SCD1, thereby decreasing lipid production in the liver.
