Ratios of mRNA levels for PPARα, PPARβ, and RXRα in Morris 7800 C1 and HepG2 cells

RatioMorris 7800 C1 CellsHepG2 Cells
PPARβ/PPARα1.89  ± 0.213.2  ± 0.221-a
PPARβ/RXRα0.36  ± 0.057.6  ± 2.141-b
PPARα/RXRα0.19  ± 0.032.4  ± 0.581-c

Specific mRNA levels were determined as described in Materials and Methods. Results are the mean ± S.E. of three different assays performed in duplicate.

    • 1-a P = .013 versus Morris cells.

    • 1-b P = .028 versus Morris cells.

    • 1-c P = .019 versus Morris cells.
