Effects of Four Main Active Flavonoids of Nutt. on Oleic Acid-Induced Lipid Metabolism and Oxidative Stress in HepG2 Cells.

Background: Traditional Chinese medicines exhibit tremendous beneficial effects on the control of hyperlipidemia and hyperlipidemia-associated disorders. In the present study, we investigated the effects of four Nutt. extracts, including luteolin, marein, naringenin (NGN) and chlorogenic acid (CQA), on lipid accumulation and oxidative stress induced by oleic acid (OA) in HepG2 cells.
