1 We used a loss-of-function approach to investigate whether CLA ameliorated colitis through a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma)-dependent mechanism. Linoleic Acids, Conjugated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
2 We used a loss-of-function approach to investigate whether CLA ameliorated colitis through a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR gamma)-dependent mechanism. Linoleic Acids, Conjugated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
3 METHODS: The expression of PPAR gamma, delta, and their target genes in the colon of mice fed control or CLA-supplemented diets was assayed after a 7-day dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) challenge by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Linoleic Acids, Conjugated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
4 Loss of the PPAR gamma gene in the colon abrogated the beneficial effects of CLA in DSS colitis. Linoleic Acids, Conjugated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
5 CONCLUSIONS: Our studies provide molecular evidence in vivo, suggesting that CLA ameliorates colitis through a PPAR gamma-dependent mechanism. Linoleic Acids, Conjugated peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma Mus musculus
