From: Vitamin B12 insufficiency induces cholesterol biosynthesis by limiting s-adenosylmethionine and modulating the methylation of SREBF1 and LDLR genes

Figure 6

Effect of vitamin B 12 in the presence of methylation inhibitor. (A) Total cholesterol in cell lysate. (B) Homocysteine in conditioned media. Relative mRNA expression of (C) SREBF1, (D) LDLR, and (E) HMGCR were measured in adipocytes maintained in customised media control, NoB, and control + 5-Aza-dC. 5-Aza-dC is methylation inhibitor. All experiments were performed as triplicates. Values are mean ± SEM. *P ≤ 0.05; **P ≤ 0.01, ***P ≤ 0.001, P value compared to control.
