[HTML][HTML] PPARδ activation attenuates hepatic steatosis in Ldlr−/− mice by enhanced fat oxidation, reduced lipogenesis, and improved insulin sensitivity

PPARδ regulates systemic lipid homeostasis and inflammation, but its role in hepatic lipid
metabolism remains unclear. Here, we examine whether intervening with a selective PPARδ
agonist corrects hepatic steatosis induced by a high-fat, cholesterol-containing (HFHC) diet.
Ldlr−/− mice were fed a chow or HFHC diet (42% fat, 0.2% cholesterol) for 4 weeks. For an
additional 8 weeks, the HFHC group was fed HFHC or HFHC plus GW1516 (3 mg/kg/day).
GW1516-intervention significantly attenuated liver TG accumulation by induction of FA β …
