physiological function | during high-fat diet feeding, glucose tolerance of mice decreases progressively and to a greater extent in females with low citrate synthase activity compared to wild-type females, with males showing a similar trend. Body weight and fat gain does not differ between low CS activity and wild-type mice. After an 18 h incubation in 0.8 mM palmitate, C2C12 muscle cells with about 50% shRNA-mediated reduction in CS activity show lower viability and increased levels of cleaved caspase-3 compared to the scramble shRNA treated C2C12 cells | Mus musculus |
