Potential involvement of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in the inhibition of mammary lipid synthesis during diet-induced milk fat depression by A. Haile, D.E. Oliveira, Y.R. Boisclair, D.E. Bauman, K.J. Harvatine

“…Mammary expression of the PPAR family during MFD was then observed in 9 mid-lactation cows in a 3 × 3 Latin square design with MFD induced by a 3-d intravenous infusion of trans-10,cis-12 CLA or feeding a high-oil and low-forage diet. The expression of all 3 PPAR isoforms remained largely unaltered during CLA and diet-induced MFD, except for an increase in PPAR-α target genes CPT1A and ACADVL that are involved in β-oxidation. …”
