Data are presented as mean ± S.E., n = 5 or 6 for wild type and PDK4 knockout mice fed on a HSF diet with and without clofibric acid.

^*P < 0.05 relative to non-treated wild type mice.

^†P < 0.05 relative to non-treated PDK4 knockout mice.

^#P < 0.05 relative to clofibric acid-treated wild type mice.
