Short-Term Activation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors and Induces Tissue-Specific Effects on Lipid Metabolism and Fatty Acid Composition in Male Wistar Rats

Figure 1

Weights and lipid related parameters in Wistar rats during treatment with PPAR agonists for 12 days. Values are geometric mean (gSD). Red bars correspond to PPARα vs control and blue bars to PPARγ vs control. Measurements of variables are in plasma, unless otherwise stated. ACOX, fatty acyl-CoA oxidase; ANOVA, analysis of variance; CPTII, carnitine palmitoyltransferase II; EPI, epididymal fat; HDL, high density lipoprotein; HMG-CoA, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A synthase; LDL, low density lipoprotein; PPAR, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor.
