Abstract
The present invention includes methods and apparatus for use in rapid testing for and prediction of a PPARα response (i.e. a response similar to that of PPARα agonists). The invention includes a PPARα response signature comprising a set of twenty genes. The invention discloses methods whereby the differential expression of the genes of the PPARα response signature may be used to predict whether a compound will induce a PPARα response in a test subject.
