Metabolism of phytol to phytanic acid in the mouse, and the role of PPARα in its regulation
Phytol, a branched-chain fatty alcohol, is the naturally occurring precursor of phytanic and pristanic acid, branched-chain fatty acids that are both ligands for the nuclear hormone receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). To investigate the metabolism of phytol and the role of...
