Research Summary

Research is focused on the three likely candidates for NRs that respond to dietary fatty acids: PPAR, RXR and LXR. In particular, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs; PPARa, ß/d and ?) are of particular interest as they serve key roles in toxicology, carcinogenesis and nutrition. Study the ligands of these receptors, the genes they affect and the physiological consequences of their activation.
