Chromatin recruitment of activated AMPK drives fasting response genes co-controlled by GR and PPARα [PDF]
, 2016 Adaptation to fasting involves both Glucocorticoid Receptor (GRα) and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor α (PPARα) activation. Given both receptors can physically interact we investigated the possibility of a genome-wide cross-talk between ...
