Figure Lengend Snippet: SIRT3 suppresses lipogenesis in lipotoxic hepatocytes. a SCD1 protein level in vector and SIRT3OE hepatocytes treated with or without P/O mixture for 24 h. b SIRT3 and SCD1 protein levels in SIRT3 and SCD1 double overexpressed hepatocytes. The lipid content c and the cellular TG content d in SIRT3 and SCD1 double overexpressed hepatocytes. White: blank, vector; gray: blank, SIRT3OE; light gray: P/O, vector; black: P/O, SIRT3OE. Data are shown as mean ± S.D., n = 6, * p < 0.05, and *** p < 0.001, vector vs. SIRT3OE, ### p < 0.001 blank vs. P/O treatment. && p < 0.01, &&& p < 0.001, SCD1OE vs. vector. One-way ANOVA was used to calculate the p -values

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic of the role of SIRT3 in protecting hepatocytes against lipotoxicity. SIRT3 activates AMPK to enhance macroautophagy and CMA on LDs and promote LDs dispersion on detyrosinated MTs, inhibits SCD1 expression to suppress lipogenesis, and deacetylates LCAD to increase fatty acid oxidation in mitochondria, resulting in attenuation of lipotoxicity in hepatocytes
