Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatic PPARalpha acts as the primary mediator of the adaptive response to fasting by upregulation of a number of genes involved in fatty acid catabolism. Whether carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase (CACT), which mediates the import of acylcarnitines into the mitochondrial matrix for subsequent beta-oxidation of fatty acid moieties, is also regulated by PPARalpha in the liver has not yet been...
