Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) is a major transcriptional regulator of lipid metabolism. It is activated by diverse chemicals such as fatty acids (FAs) and regulates the expression of numerous genes in organs displaying high FA catabolic rates, including the liver. The role of this nuclear receptor as a sensor of whole dietary fat intake has been inferred, mostly from...
