Ligand-Activated PPARα-Dependent DNA Demethylation Regulates the Fatty Acid β-Oxidation Genes in the Postnatal Liver
13 Oct 2014
Abstract excerpt
The metabolic function of the liver changes sequentially during early life in mammals to adapt to the marked changes in nutritional environment. Accordingly, hepatic fatty acid β-oxidation is activated after birth to produce energy from breast milk lipids. However, how it is induced during the neonatal period is poorly understood. Here we show DNA demethylation and increased mRNA expression of the fatty acid...
