Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta (PPARdelta) is a transcription factor that regulates genes of importance in lipid and glucose metabolism. ApoA-II is one of the major proteins of the HDL-particle. The aim of this study was to investigate the regulation of apoA-II gene expression by PPARdelta. Treatment of HepG2 cells with the PPARdelta specific agonist GW501516 increased apoA-II mRNA...
