A schematic summary of TCE exposure-induced changes of mRNA levels in liver and metabolites in urine and serum. TCE is metabolized to its two metabolites DCA and TCA. Induction of PPARα target genes by these two metabolites (especially TCA) results in increased fatty acid metabolism and hepatomegaly resulting in alteration of metabolite profiles in urine and serum
