Abstract excerpt
Considerable controversy exists in determining the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) in obesity. Two purebred congenic strains of PPARalpha-null mice were developed to study the role of this receptor in modulating lipid transport and storage. Weight gain and average body weight in wild-type and PPARalpha-null mice on either an Sv/129 or a C57BL/6N background were not markedly...
