Abstract The dominant-negative mutation, P467L, in peroxisome proliferator-activated
receptor-? (PPAR?) affects adipose tissue distribution, insulin sensitivity, and
blood pressure in heterozygous humans. We hypothesized that the equivalent
mutation, PPAR?-P465L, in mice will worsen atherosclerosis.
