Abstract
► The cause of hepatic lipid accumulation in peroxisome deficient hepatocytes is investigated. ► Steatosis develops despite increased fatty acid oxidation and reduced de novo lipid synthesis. ► Increased fatty acid uptake is in accordance with massive induction of CD36, a PPARα target. ► We challenge the assumption that PPARα activation requires de novo fatty acid synthesis in liver.
