Hepatocyte-specific deletion of <i>Pparα</i> promotes NASH in the context of obesity

2018-12-06

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objectives</h4> Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α (PPARα) acts as a fatty acid sensor to orchestrate the transcription of genes coding for rate-limiting enzymes required for lipid oxidation in hepatocytes.
