However, it is as yet unclear if the damage caused by BPA is able to be repaired sufficiently after exposure has ceased. Therefore, this project aims to investigate the effects of BPA on the hepatic lipid metabolism function and its potential mechanisms in mice by comparing the BPA exposure model and the BPA exposure + cessation of drug treatment model. Herein, the male C57BL\/6 mice were exposed in the dose of 50 \u03bcg\/kg\/day and 500 \u03bcg\/kg\/day BPA for 8 weeks, and then transferred to a standard chow diet for another 8 weeks to recover. Based on our previous RNA-seq study, we examined the expression patterns of some key genes. The results showed that the mice exposed to BPA manifested NAFLD features. Importantly, we also found that there was a significant expression reversion for SCD1, APOD, ANGPT4, PPAR\u03b2, LPL and G0S2 between the exposure and recovery groups, especially for SCD1 and APOD (p &lt; 0.01). Notably, BPA could significantly decrease the level of APOD protein (p &lt; 0.01) whereas there was an extremely significant increase after the exposure ceased. Meanwhile, APOD over-expression suppressed TG accumulation in the AML12 cells. In conclusion, the damage caused by BPA is able to be repaired by the upregulation of APOD and exposure to BPA should be carefully examined in chronic liver metabolic disorders or diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/toxics11090775","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,12]],"date-time":"2023-09-12T21:41:12Z","timestamp":1694554872000},"page":"775","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Effects of BPA Exposure and Recovery on the Expression of Genes Involved in the Hepatic Lipid Metabolism in Male Mice"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Changqing","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food and Biological Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nan","family":"Shen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food and Biological Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shaohua","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food and Biological Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui-Li","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Food and Biological Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 230009, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S99","DOI":"10.1002\/hep.20973","article-title":"Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: From steatosis to cirrhosis","volume":"43","author":"Farrell","year":"2006","journal-title":"Hepatology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"482","DOI":"10.1177\/0192623314549960","article-title":"Identification of Environmental Chemicals Associated with the Development of Toxicant-associated Fatty Liver Disease in Rodents","volume":"43","author":"Wahlang","year":"2015","journal-title":"Toxicol.
