Key Event Description
Fatty acid oxidation in liver tissue is controlled by PPARalpha signaling networks (Evans et al 2004). The PPARalpha signaling network controls expression of the genes within metabolic pathways that catalyze fatty acid oxidation reactions (Desvergne and Wahli 1999).
How It Is Measured or Detected
A variety of approaches establishing the effects of PPARalpha signaling on fatty acid oxidation are reviewed in Evans et al (2004).
Domain of Applicability
See review for Human PPARalpha signaling in (Evans et al 2004).
