There were 8 comparison studies related to PPARα in mice intestine or in liver included in our research. Each of the 8 comparisons identified dependent or independent pathways for PPARα or WY14643.
CT: mice were treated with normal food (control).
WY: mice were treated with the synthetic PPARα ligand WY14643 (0.1% w/w) mixed in the food.
KO: PPARα-null (129S4/SvJae) mice.
WT: wild type (129S1/SvImJ) mice.
