Gene Expression Profiling in Wild-Type and PPAR𝛼-Null Mice Exposed to Perfluorooctane Sulfonate Reveals PPAR𝛼-Independent Effects
Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a perfluoroalkyl acid (PFAA) and a persistent environmental contaminant found in the tissues of humans and wildlife. Although blood levels of PFOS have begun to decline, health concerns remain because of the long half-life of PFOS in humans. Like other PFAAs, such...
