Abstract
A method for identifying or screening an agonist for or antagonist to a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor (PPAR) which comprises allowing a test cell and a substance to be tested to coexist, and detecting a change in a ligand-dependent interaction between the PPAR and a coactivator in the test cells due to the substance to be tested by measuring the expression of a reporter gene as an index.
