BHBA Influences Bovine Hepatic Lipid Metabolism via AMPK Signaling Pathway

β‐hydroxybutyric acid (BHBA), an important metabolite in β‐oxidation, is involved in the development of ketosis in dairy cows. It is known that AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling pathway plays an important role in the regulation of lipid metabolism in hepatocytes. In the present study, bovine hepatocytes were treated with BHBA at variable concontrations and Compound C (Cpd C, an AMPK inhibitor) to investigate the effects of BHBA on...
