PPARA and myocardial infarction: Similar findings were reported in fenofibrate treated pigs, which were submitted to ischemia/reperfusion: Myocardial infarct sizes, contractile function, lipid accumulation, substrate uptake, and expression of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), important in long-chain fatty acid oxidation, were unaffected by PPARα activation [10].
