Gene Expression of the Intestinal Peptide Transporter 1 and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha Following Fasting/Refeeding and Ligand Administration in Chickens
The uptake of amino acids is mediated by amino acid transporters and the peptide transporter, PepT1. The nuclear receptor PPARα may play a role in the activation of PepT1. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of a fasting/refeeding regimen and gavaging a PPARα ligand on expre...
