Valproic acid (VPA) is a widely prescribed antiepileptic drug, which may cause steatosis in the liver. Oxidative stress is associated with the progression of VPA-induced hepatic steatosis. However, the potential mechanisms are not fully understood. In this study, we demonstrated the involvement of CYP2E1-ROS-CD36/DGAT2 axis in the pathogenesis of VPA-induced hepatic steatosis in vitro and in vivo. First, VPA treatment (500 mg/kg in mice, 5 mM in LO2 cells) induced hepatic steatosis and enhanced reactive oxidative stress (ROS) level, an
