Considerable controversy exists in determining
the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR ) in
obesity. Two purebred congenic strains of PPAR -null mice were
developed to study the role of this receptor in modulating lipid
transport and storage. Weight gain and average body weight in wild-type and PPAR -null mice on either an Sv/129 or a C57BL/6N background were
not markedly different between genotypes from 3 to 9 months of age.
However, gonadal adipose stores were significantly greater in both
strains of male and female PPAR -null mice. Hepatic accumulation of
lipids was greater in both strains and sexes of PPAR -null mice
compared with wild-type controls. Administration of the peroxisome proliferator WY-14643 caused hepatomegaly, alterations in mRNAs encoding proteins that regulate lipid metabolism, and reduced serum
triglycerides in a PPAR -dependent mechanism.
Constitutive differences in serum cholesterol and triglycerides in
PPAR -null mice were found between genetic backgrounds. Results from
this work establish that PPAR is a critical modulator of lipid
homeostasis in two congenic mouse lines. This study demonstrates that
disruption of the murine gene encoding PPAR results in significant
alterations in constitutive serum, hepatic, and adipose tissue lipid
metabolism. However, an overt, obese phenotype in either of the two
congenic strains was not observed. In contrast to earlier published
work, this study establishes that PPAR is not associated with
obesity in mice.
