Concurrent Activation of Liver X Receptor and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Alpha Exacerbates Hepatic Steatosis in High Fat Diet-Induced Obese Mice
Liver X receptor (LXR) activation improves glucose homeostasis in obesity. This improvement, however, is associated with several side effects including hyperlipidemia and hepatic steatosis. Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), on the other hand, increases fatty aci...
