BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence suggests a link between pesticide exposure and the development of metabolic diseases. However, most experimental studies have evaluated the metabolic effects of pesticides using individual molecules, often at non relevant doses or in combination with other r...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is used in the plastic industry as the monomer of polycarbonates and epoxy resins. Heat and changes in pH conditions lead to its leakage from the plastics in which it is incorporated. This largely contributes to the widespread exposure of the general population to this environmenta...

If the function of the nuclear receptor PPARa is well-known during a prolongated fasting, its hepatic biological function during feeding and refeeding conditions still needs to be investigated. Moreover, in vivo data collected so far on PPARa function during fasting were obtained using the total Ppa...

Fenofibrate is a specific agonist of the nuclear receptor PPARa. To identify the gene expression under the strict dependence of hepatic PPARa activity, we generated a new mouse strain of PPARa-specific deletion in hepatocyte (albumin-Cre+/- Pparaflox/flox or LKO) and we compared them to total Ppara ...

LXR is a transcription factor. Two isoforms exist in mice (alpha and beta). They are both expressed in the liver. We examined the role of LXR by obtaining gene expression profiles from the livers of wild-type and LXR-/- mice from the same genetic background. Liver gene expression was measured from m...

Fipronil is a widely-used broad-spectrum phenylpyrazole insecticide. It has been shown that fipronil increases the hepatic metabolism of thyroid hormone in the rat, which may induce compensatory mechanisms at the level of the thyroid gland itself. Here, we studied the effect of fipronil on the trans...
