Background
Fatostatin A is an inhibitor of sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP), which can inhibit the activation of SREBP-1 and SREBP-2[1].
Fatostatin A (0.1-1 μM; 3 days) inhibits the androgen-independent proliferation of prostate cancer cell in a manner independent of the known IGF1 signaling pathway. Fatostatin A inhibits insulin-induced fat formation in 3T3-L1 cells[2].
Fatostatin A (30 mg/kg; 150 mL; i.p.; daily for 28 days) prevents obese ob/ob mice from increasing their weight, blood sugar, and liver fat accumulation, even if they do not control the food intake of mice[1].[1].
