Journal ArticleDOI

Peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor α mediates the adaptive response to fasting

TL;DR: It is shown that to accommodate the increased requirement for hepatic fatty acid oxidation, PPAR α mRNA is induced during fasting in wildtype mice, indicating that PPARα plays a pivotal role in the management of energy stores during fasting.
Journal ArticleDOI

The PPARalpha-leukotriene B4 pathway to inflammation control.

TL;DR: Because PPARα regulates the oxidative degradation of fatty acids and their derivatives, like this lipid mediator, a feedback mechanism is proposed that controls the duration of an inflammatory response and the clearance of leukotriene B4 in the liver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered Constitutive Expression of Fatty Acid-metabolizing Enzymes in Mice Lacking the Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor α (PPARα)

TL;DR: PPARα modulates constitutive expression of genes encoding several mitochondrial fatty acid-catabolizing enzymes in addition to mediating inducible mitochondrial and peroxisomal fatty acid β-oxidation, thus establishing a role for the receptor in fatty acid homeostasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Growth, Adipose, Brain, and Skin Alterations Resulting from Targeted Disruption of the Mouse Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor β(δ)

TL;DR: These results are the first to provide in vivo evidence of significant roles for PPARβ in development, myelination of the corpus callosum, lipid metabolism, and epidermal cell proliferation.
